The larva of ecstasy comes not <br />from without <br />and breathes not <br />apart from the air it exudes. <br /> <br />It grows little by little, <br />It grows being fed <br />with thoughts that bubble <br />from the polarity of unbelief. <br /> <br />Quietly it sings, <br />it whistles, it rings <br />from the inner soul <br />of the larva of ecstasy. <br /> <br /> <br />(3: 50 P.M.,19 November 1993 <br />Creative Writing Center <br />University of the Philippines)<br /><br />Joscephine Gomez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/larva-of-ecstasy/
