Kinabuhi

Life
is
a
ladder,
some
will
climb
up
it,
others
down.

ang kinabuhi amura ng hagdanan, ang lain mukatkat, ang lain mupanaug.

Bawud sa Bislig Bay

Usahay ang bawud maputiay,
malipayun,
yagligidligid sa dagat;
duwum, adlaw.

Pero usahay ang bawud maitumay,
yadaman,
yagligidligid sa dagat na yaglagutay.

Ang Tulay

Ang karaan na tulay maraatay da ang bayho,

Agbawukun naan ang kanaan likud

Para muagi kita.

Sakitan yaan ug magtiyahu

Pero diri nato madungug.

Kapuok ang sa kanak bayhu

Kay ang kabug-at na ipaga-baba naan

Sa yang agi na mga utaw ug sakyanan

Ingpahuwug ng mga kahuy ang kaniran dahon sa tubig;

Ang langit yagyangu kaniran.

Ang mga dahon yaglutaw na amura mga mga barko

Ang mga isu na gagmay yaghampang sa kilid ng tulay.

The Philippine Eagle

The Philippine Eagle captured in the rainforest of Bislig City.

Katanduan

a poor man in Bislig ,
skin browned under the sun,
tired necks and limbs,
dampened backshardened feet.

rustle of caramcam leaves and nipa palms,
crossing the hanging makeshift bridge
over the echoing muddy brooks.

Houses on Stilts along the Bislig River

houses along the shores and creeks in bislig

walls made of split wood,

flooring of bamboo splits

with roofs of thatched nipa leaves.

Hangin sa kilid ng dagat

Lubas ako amura nga dahon
ug mabati ko ang hangin sa kanak abaga.

Ang mga kahoy yanghikuwo,
Pagkuha ko ng suga sa kanak alima.

Ang hangin inglupog ang bawud,
Yakalukotlukot ng maputi na bura

Poblacion, Bislig

murmuring waves bouncing in the seawall of boulevard
amidst the choco-colored beach of bislig.

flapping of nipa leaves
in the murky creeks of Catanduan.

laughters of dirty and brown haired children
of Baybay II.

rude punky teenagers
gallavanting in the highway.

echoes of voices in the far,
What could there be in silence?
