Morning Reading
...Reading fridge magnets; surprised how interesting,
the world is when stamped into rubber decals.
Rome, Ankara, both Buda and Pest.
Watching a colorful rolling diorama,
pictographs tumbling over...

A Long Goodbye
...You fixed Mongolian stew
on a two ring Russian-made burner.
It was understood,
that we would not be drinking
salted milk tea
in Ulan Bator anytime soon.

Dapit Hapon
...Paggising Sa umaga, palagi akong natatanaw ang araw.
Sumisikat at Nagniningning, habang nararamdaman ko ang init nito.
Tulad ng pakiramdam ko sa tuwing nababalot ako Sa init ng pagmamahal mo.
Dahi...

Way Signs
...There’s a street map in a fisherman’s pocket
a splashing sea has soaked its print,
signs and roads melt
it could be Atlantis, or maybe
a bus route of north London.
There's an Atlas globe bobbi...

The Interloper
...His hands are worn smooth
they work in the soft ether of his thoughts,
only two fingertips
plunge to earth and peck
at a world he hardly knows.
His poetry is sea soaked and spattered

Kapaligiran
...Kapaligiran, Kay gandang pagmasdan
Lalo na kung ito'y maayos at malinis
Subalit kulang yata sa aral o disiplina ang mga Pilipino
Maraming basura ay nagkalat, mga plastik at bote
Na sa kanal ay n...

Tuloy-tuloy ang tagas
Sa yerong butas
Kapeng mainit
May tinapay at pansit
Biyayang sulit

That just keeps flowing inside...

gently tapping on night’s dewy aisle
while raindrops spill like pearly dots,

Ang mga nanunuyot na ilo...

Magic Kapote

Kay lakas ng mga ulan
Tumatagaktak sa alinsangan,
Kay dami ng alingawngaw sa paligid
Kagat sa labi, ngipin sa bagang ay nagngingitngit
Dalawang bagay na tumitibok
Ang syang na...
