Short Kristina Poems

It flutters to the piano
As you enter the room
Lands on the ivory
And plays your sweet. slow melody

I turn off the alarm.
6 o'clock.
Tired shoulders.
Stomach grumbling.
I turn over on the bed.
Long day ahead.
Deadlines, backlog.
You enter our room, my heart skips a beat.
You...
You.

I smile,
Stretch my arms,
And get up.

The wind howls
Through its audience of trees.
Their tired leaves rustle wildly,
Distracting from the departing sun.

Rain has started to fall,
Lightly at first..
And then in torrents...
But steadily.

By now, I am drenched.

I close my eyes,
And take another deep breath.

Bumagsak ang telon
Hinatak niya ang kanyang kurbata
Tapos na ang palabas
Wala na...
Buntong-hininga ang pinakawalan
Nag-iisa na naman siya
Nanginginig and kanyang mga kamay...

Masigabong palakpakan.

Bumukas ang telon
Humalakhak ang mga manonood
Magaling, maganda
Tumayo siya
Nakipagkamay sa direktor
Bumalik siya sa kotse, sa bahay
Walang kasama.
Tumulo ang luha...

Palakpaka'y nasa'n na?
