This is a blog of poems written by A H Mills, who currently lives on Boracay in the Philippines. Curated & uploaded by one of his daughters because, although he can email, he can't comprehend how to blog. Please leave any comments or suggestions you have here, I'll be sure to let my Dad know.

Room 6c
Below :
Workmen chatter, battering, repairing
Polluting the smoke filled air
She whispers her mother’s learnt prayers
Swatting a loaded mosquito, swearing the blood
Red swirl is her crimson curl, cursing
The workmen below and the dead departure
Dead :
As her starved open-mouthed child
Under the bed, in Room 6c
