Loud.

In the winds I will just whisper
Hoping my words will find your ears,
Sing songs of love and longing
Hear my heart, your name it's screaming.

Silence please.

Sorry but I can't listen to all your
senseless drama. My ears are already
tired of listening to my own.

I am.

When I hear or read someone else's confessions about how they are loved, I just smile to myself and say, "Well, I am such one damn lucky girl."

Sukli

isang linggo na
isang linggo nang dinadala ang bigat ng konsensya
konsensyang minsa'y natatakpan ng galit
galit na naging dahilan ng pagbitaw

kagabi,
nailabas ng hindi sinasadya
parang ilog ang luha na di mapigilan ang pagdaloy
sino may kasalanan?
si ate sa tindahan na binawi ang biniling redhorse
binawi kasi walang panukli
putang ina
walang panukli

loko.
