Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
In flight I shall ascend with a body
As robust as the physique
Of Apollo
Dionysos
Bernardo Carpio
Sturdy godly frames
Are blazing flames!
They drive away pests
And illnesses: sordid demons
Parasites of Hades!
Indeed my body possesses
None such a duty as catching Dis-ease
Along the way.
Fly I shall!
[Writ. 24 Aug. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
