inspired by their wings
termites fly towards
the electric bulbs

he sells chicken eggs
to buy cigarettes

just a pail of water
for a bath
That Moment
that moment
when you suddenly kiss me
behind the door
Rainy Morning
rainy morning--
walking barefooted
in a holey street

sa opisina namon
indi mag-andar ro kotse
kun indi pagtughungan it gasolina

no one places a flower
at his monument in Luneta
On His Death Anniversary
on his death anniversary--
people paraded
in Luneta
