lechon

pinoy celebrations are never complete without this old favorite.


my ode to lechon

over roaring embers
through a bamboo stick
prepared by deft hands
watched by hungry eyes

the nose excited
by the smell of roasting
mouths watering
with anticipation

its crispy skin
leads you to ecstacy
the tasty flesh
is a guilty pleasure

the star of countless fiestas
the joy of countless generations
the lechon

bow :D
