Woman
(for E. M.)
1.
her smile
the morning breeze to blossom
a thousand tulips
say imis to
palpalis ed kabuasan ya manpabuneknek
na sanlibon tulips
2.
if i could paint you with words
too naked to be spoken
that’s your immaculatry!
3.
my empty room
my private space
so full of you
you’re not even here
4.
pilgrims - you and i
skylark and nightingale in
a stealing heaven
kiss the day O wanton lips
and i will embrace the night
5.
your smile
the warm touch of the sun
on my cheeks
the goodnight kiss
of the breeze
on my lips
6.
november heat –
the memory of rain
on my skin
morning breeze –
longing for your warm embrace
on a day like this
7.
tonight beloved
i will sleep alone
remembering the laughter
of your voice
so inveigling
that it betrays the geometry
of my heart
and the constellation
of my soul

Anlong : Lawas kan Pinabli
(odino no panon kon pinatey si kupido)
no labik labat la natalusan
so rason no akin et wala'y bulan
ono labitewen ya inngaran ko'd sika
pinabli
baliwen ko'y amin a babaliwan
anggan say dayat na kanonotan
say laem na ilalam tan taew na liknaan
no sika so pansengegan
anggapo'y onterter ya lua
no say kolor tonia et ermen tan boblay
tan anggapo'y ingongot ya nalikna
ondalan ma'y salinap tan desiang
agewen ko'y labi tan labien ko'y agew
daput no narengel so tanila na bosis mo
daput no onaplos so yumis na imis mo
ed saray bibil ko tan gisla na kamareruak
alagaren ko'y andi anggaan
no bilang et sika'y makalingwan
lapu'd maralus ya ayat na maandon mundo
mansiansia ya sika so inaro
pitamitan ko'y isabi na agew
ya nalener ak ed aspito na matam
tan magmaliw ak ya anlong ed laman mo
no iner ak onsulming: sakey a balon adan
masurin sika so pinablin insipan --
say dalin kon sipur lan inggendan
impangaro na amalsan angoyos ed sika
dia ed dilik ya taglang

november : fragments
hourglass --
Egypt in the aspects of
Nefertiti's eyes
--
november rain --
learning how to dance
again
--
after the storm
no memory of you is
beyond forgetting
nothing
but the fragments of
myself
(with apologies to rolando carbonell)
--
first of november
memories of rain
still cold on my skin
--
finding my center
when I Am is on
its own aphelion
--
ed sayan labi
onsaew ya amin
so liknaan
anggano nagislaan
so kamareruak
