plagued by blindness, i skim

plagued by blindness, i skim
the hem of your dress, find that
where once your nape lay smooth

against the soft rays of the sun
a harshness grows, a having to
hide what brings me to you. No,

not there, you say, so from
the smooth of your hem, I feel
your wrist, a fat watch arching

your arm like a cuff. Cold,
I say under my breath. Beautiful
you mumble to my ear. Love

where once we touched and rooted,
here in the softness of the sun
here lingers on my lips I ask:

Where are you?

Marahan;
                iuugwak mo ba ang karunungan?
baka
           sa mga aninag na kumakapit
uusog
           ang hiwagang inilalamuyot
ang hari--
                 ng mga Hudyo.

smooth blue;

smooth blue;
                          whistling

white. a feather smells
     delightful--
           --through

a cloud. blue--

Dahil Nilipat ang Palabas

'Di na malalaman kung tawa o hikbi ba ang nakabitin
sa silid; nagsasalaysay si Ryan tungkol sa buhay
talentado, nang maging si Ted, at mula sa idinuwal
na ningas ng isang Mrs. Ira, mga butiking nagsilayas.

"Kahit sasabog pa'ng katawan ko, basta mabuhay tayo,"
Sagot ni Ate, sabay kurot sa tiyan ko't lipat sa BFV.
