abo sa dila

May iniisip ka? Oo. Ano? Ayaw kong sabihin. Baka magkatotoo.

 
Dahil makulit ka
Kilala kita. Oo, ikaw 'yun: Nagkasalubong na tayo minsan, sa LRT, sa Gotohan, sa kanto ng Aurora at Katipunan. Nagkatinginan tayo. Hindi mo ako kinausap, pero alam ko, nakilala mo rin ako. Kaya ka narito, di ba? Para sabihing, Oo, oo, ikaw nga 'yun. Naaalala kita.
O, ha, Plurk, o, ha!
Radyo? Radyo?
Libreng humirit

Mag-exercise tayo tuwing umaga
Tambay ka muna
Lokal Kolor
Ano'ng hanap mo?
Basa lang nang basa
Tropa ko

Colony
Sunday, February 14, 2010
We believed stories never died.
Our songs were our dreams retold.
Sometimes we woke up screaming.
Our hearts would spill from our throats
like jagged-edged pebbles.
We thought silence was a virtue.
When our children cried
we fed them from our hands.
Home was that place
no one else claimed as their own.
We chanted at our bamboo walls.
We spilt the blood of goats
and prayed only for rain.
We hungered only when we slept.
When we thirsted we knelt by the river.
The water slipped through our fingers
like a story, never ending.
We believed something came
after dying. We died.
We fought back.
