Pre-Lapsarian

Pre-Lapsarian

 

As some thinkers say,

Before the fall, when

Woman and man had

Concourse without

Guile or agenda save

For pleasure in animal-

Naming and simplicity

In delight, listening-

Awaiting sounds of

Perfect feet on Eden’s

Brilliant plain; and if

They’d proved a nation,

We would have had

Ourselves a world,

Replete, by all mortal-

Divine promises to own

Hebei and Henan

Hebei and Henan

Nearly a hundred

Known to have lost

 

life here in conquests

 

of water, land, and

souls that are the

floods’ in China.

 

There are times

when Who is now

our nation’s friend?

 

has no new meaning.

Prayer and pledge

 

and action, anyway.

from all of us in

all the nations.

Love Song

Love Song

inspired by kundiman

 

If only I

And with a sigh

Could say I love you

 

If only you

My one and true

Could say I love you, by

 

And by, this world will fall

And when it does,

I’ll say because

We could not call

 

Our own

If only I’d

Been there and tried

To love you only

 

And if you tried

The rules abide

And could you run

And hide?

 

If only we

Had sight to see

That we are left to be

Habilin

Habilin

 

A golden ring

A sword by a lady

Genie in the lamp

 

Silver kept by first

People before

John Reed could

Claim the hero’s

Steed

 

Who keeps the

Holy Grail?  Who

Killed Cock Robin

 

And, more soberly,

Black Dahlia?

 

Where is Jimmy

Hoffa?  Where

Did D. B. Cooper

Fall?   What

Happened to the

Mary Celeste

And Flight 19?

 

And where is the

Key to my hidden

Heart?

 

I don’t know

Much about holy

Relics, enigmatic

Personages,

Famous mysteries;

 

About secrets,

Well, I’ve kept a

Few—I’d rather

Not have had to

 

To children,

Secrets make

Innocent mischief;

 

Later, for safety

Sake, they might

Be exigent even

Into years

 

But, finally,

When the glass

Is no longer

Darkly, when we

Shall see with

Clarity

 

And all shall be

Known face to

Face,

 

On that day I

Shall be

Relieved, for

Heavy chore

Has been

Reliving secrets

 

 

(First Corinthians 13:12)

Tenth Muse

Tenth Muse

 

Nine muses

For the Greeks,

A tenth muse

For Filipinos

And for me

Grace and gift

 

I aspire toward

Invocation

 

If paraluman

Visit and illumine

 

Then I shall, in

Turn, be filled

With art from

 

Philippine spirit

 

I could not

Ask for more

Than far-off

Soul-wind

Breathe on me

Sister

Brother

Friend

 

Sister to my wounds

And brother to

My zeal,

 

Friend to our needs

This should go

Two ways at least

 

I pray it does

 

Sister- brother-friend

Allow me to live

 

Let me serve you

In this way

Where dreams are

 

And where dreams are

Bound and

Bound to be

Freed

 

Be,

Be free,

Marahuyo means

(To be) enchanted

 

And marahuyo

Means

 

Are magic

Balintawtaw

Balintawtaw

 

Look me in the eye

 

Balintawtaw

How might

It undulate

 

Do you wave in

Love or fright

 

Attributes that

Can be shared, you

Know:

 

Each evokes

A shaking of

Soul-senses

 

Overcome one

To have the

Other—you decide

 

Then with one

Intent, look the

Other in the eye

 

In balintawtaw
