August 23, 2010--
a black hole develops
in Luneta

Tawa-Tawa

Hilamon man lang ako kato
Ginagabot, ginahaboy sa basurahan
Ginasunog, gina-eapak-eapakan
Ku ulihi, ginatanum eon ako
Sa harden, ginabunyagan
Rang palibot ginahawan
Ginagabot, ginahugasan
Gina-eaga, gina-inum
Ay gali epektibong bueong
Sa makakamatay nga dengge.

Beneath

beneath
the heap of twigs and leaves
a symmetry

Nag-agto Ako Sa Lezo

Nag-agto ako sa Lezo,
May hakita ako nga gwapo;
Gusto ko kunta kana makalamano
Ugaling nahuya ako.
