Sinusulat ko ang tula dahil;
maraming paro-paro sa aking isipan
at nakakawala ng sabay sabay,
at wala akong magawa upang pigilan.
Dahil pinagmamalabisan
ng mga dambuhala ang mga
masang anak-pawis
ngunit di ako malabas
ng bahay para maki welga...
Dahil,
maglalaba pa ako,
wala akong pamasahe
o di kaya'y iba ang inatas
sa akin ng aking kolektib...
at iba ang gagawin namin
ng mga kapwa aktibista
Sinusulat ko ang tula dahil
minsa'y nakaramdam ako
ng init ng katawan...
ngunit di ko mailabas...
Wala akong pera.
Wala akong chicks.
May tao pa sa banyo.
O di kaya'y natatakot lang
akong lumapit sa mga babae.
Sinusulat ko ang tula dahil
hindi ko malapitan
ang gusto kong babae
dahl may nobyo na sya
at poging di hamak sa akin.
Dahil mukhang anghel ang lahat
ng makita kong babae
at dahil wala akong babae...
At sa huli:
Sinusulat ko ang tula dahil
pinagmamalabisan ng mga
dambuhala ang mga
masang anak-pawis
habang nagwewelga ako
kasama ang mga babaeng mukhang anghel
at umiinit ang katawan ko sa tao sa banyo
Dahil wala akong pera...
at wala akong chicks...
Sinulat ko na lang ang tula...

SA DUYAN NG KATAHIMIKAN
Marahang
pagpikit
at pag dilat
ng mga
durungawang
dati’y
nakapinid.
Upang
makapasok
ang hangin
na malumanay
kung mangusap.
Dito.
Tayo ay
idinuduyan
ng katahimikan
tinutupad ng
langit
ang kanyang
mga panatag
ng mga
panata.
Di ba’t
tuwing
tahimik lamang
natin
natatamo ang
lahat?
At lahat ng
kagandahan
sa mundo
yy tahimik
lamang
kung magpamalas
ng galling
Ang pagbuka
ng santan
Ang unang
halik.
Ang araw na
sumisikat.
Ang mga di pa
makaunat na
mga
panaginip.
At ang mga
kabog ng unang sinta.
Hayaang
iduyan tayo
ng katahimikan
sa
kanyang marahang
mga bisig.

Carefully Our Breathing
Carefully our breathing
humming birds
to a bloom
tracing your skin
in patterned strokes
Preventing
the unnecessary
twitches from
disrupting
the silent
wars
from
breaking
I sometimes
pause
only to let
your exhales pass
The battle
restarts
We then sigh our last.

Shed
In my own words
I.
Take shelter;
not to flee.
To breathe
with ease, instead.
And tolerate life.
And in the name
of tolerance
I scribble
and pause only
to let the air in.
In these words;
in this room
I savor
the fleeting calmness.
Why I wrote tem,
I can not divulge.

Murmurs in Deep Sleep
The fabric of discontent
has faded
down to
its
last
thread
Woven now
is the hunger..
the spools that were once
cravings
has grown
insatiable
Tracing back
what you
once
ignored...
they are now
our blistered thoughts
And in the depths
of our slumber
you speak...
Yet I could not speak back
The flooor
remains open...
