Da Sarig ko Sirig

...Da sa maninai na da sa balakesan
Na lumangkap so tenggao,
Na imanto a gagawii na singayo akn so gagaw
Ogaid na di patot oba pangampit.

Kataya a tentengan nakn so gabon
Sa kapapal iyan na kiyak...

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.

I would be moving on,
you would be ...

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...

Beautiful  by any yardstick

Offered by  flower vendor
In crowded street of Ulan Bator

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
with Eng...

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...

Biyaya Ng Ulan - Blessing of Rain

...Ulang malamig
Tuloy-tuloy ang tagas
Sa yerong butas

Kapeng mainit
May tinapay at pansit
Biyayang sulit

Translation:

The cold rainwater
That just keeps flowing inside...

...The swell of cloudburst pours its showers;
gently tapping on night’s dewy aisle
while raindrops spill like pearly dots,
along a lush garden     where ringlets flit.

Ulan

...Matatapos na ang tag-init
Bubuhos na muli ang malalakas na ulan
Ang mga uhaw na lupa’y madidiligan nang muli
Ang mga bitak na naukit sa init ay pagtatagpuin nanamang muli
Ang mga nanunuyot na ilo...

Magic Kapote

...by Sir Jhucel

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...
