Damit


Ang pag-asa
ay patuloy na pagtatagni ng mga napunit na tela ng damit
na mahabang nakatiwangwang sa araw at ulan

Ang pag-asa 
ay pagtatahi ng mga piraso ng tela ng damit 
na di panalampas ng matalim na ngipin ni Tagpi

Ang pag-asa 
ay pagkukumpuni ng tela ng damit
na pinagdugtong ng sinulid ngunit
pinunit ng paulit-ulit na paggupit.

Ang pag-asa 
ay pagtatahi-tahi, pagtagpi-tagpi, at pagtupi-tupi
ng mga dulo ng damit
na di na magdikit.

Falling

Knees tremble
heart falls
sweats 
break free 
fear 
falling 
paves way 
to escape
the loud placidity
of this plain salted life.

On Koala Bears

Koala bears amuse me.

Much more a koala bear man. I do not discount the fact that cheating is a habit of some politicians in the Philippines but as to this supposed expose, the people don't need anonymous expositions. If there's cheating at any corner, show the evidence, take off that mask, and speak up!

Found

For a long time
I sat by the window
waiting for the passing of a sparrow.

I was not looking
when I found
what I was looking for.
