菲律賓的老樣子

這是攝影師ClemensFantur在菲律賓東北部旅行時拍攝的一組照片。

菲律賓大約有1億的人口，大約有1000萬人生活在海外。在照片中，可以看到那裡一些碎片化的故事，對遠方、家人、美好生活的渴望。而一切又彷彿都是老樣子，就像水坑裡的棕櫚樹，還是老樣子。

Rain

This morning, it is raining

in my country.

Water slides down

the leaves

like tongue on skin.

The sound of their falling

collects

like breath on the lobes

of ears.

You are a continent away.

There, the leaves are beginning

to turn.

Soon, night will steal hours

from day,

and snow will be whirling

in drifts.

But you are here,

in the country

of my mind,

wiping away the maps

of mist

on the windows pane,

lying in bed beside me,

as the pulse of the pillow and sheets -

even the very throb of rain -

begin to quicken.
