I will remember you

Mamueot kita it sigay

Agod taw-an kita it monay

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

Remember

remember
the fallen Sampaguita
in Luneta

Nag-agto Ako Sa Lezo

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

Old Stars

old stars leaving us
new stars relighting
the skies

First Kiss

first kiss--
for a moment,
all moonlight
