the bananas of Catalina...

the bananas of Catalina
do not have fruits
the winds here are strong
and the trees all have fallen
to the ground

the bananas of Catalina
still do not have fruits but always
mind you
always they have always
been strong...

I have kept a part of Catalina Productions going, through which I develop a few projects just for me.

Paghubad Sa Mga Balak Ni Candice #1

Surrogate

no sunset today...
I'm redirecting my gaze
to bright autumn leaves

(komedya lang ha)

kay wala ka man

kay wala ka man lamang karon sanseta ka
akong ibalhin ang akong mga lantaw
sa gidauban nga mga otomlebs

(mas binuang ni)

Gate ni zorro

Way sunset karon
Ibalhin ang akong giz

Congratulations

So your friend leaves for Edmonton
And now you are left alone in your condo
Homesick to the philippine islands
In Sta. Catalina

Outside the snow has become thicker
Layer upon layer of coldness alL white and windy
A snowstorm rages perhaps
As i too, imagine it here back in our
Home - this country

You receive the news about a new job
You get accepted and that is good enough gift
From God for you

You are right my friend
It is not late yet for you to put a christmas tree inside your room
On the 24th of this day of December
Make it just a little christmas tree
Do not put the star on top

A Poem By Merlie Alunan

Fallen in battle in the mountains of Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental,1987 A.D., a hill warrior talks to his daughter, three years old, from the trail where his bones lie unburied

Sure I had them in my backpack,
the piyaya, just as i had promised,
and the baye-baye from 'Nay Asyon.
She was asking about
the grandchild she'd never seen.
Also a comb for your mother.

The road from Siaton blew up.
Crossing the valley to our hut
to see you for the last time,
I left no footprints anyone could find.
So many things I couldn't
bring with me- my gun, my boots,
left behind forever in the hidden trail.
Unseen, I watched your mother
waiting while you slept,
combing her hair by the gaslight

that reunion on the merry month of May

on a shorter notice we had the reunion set on the merry month of May,
candid,
a spot for the day, we gather the faces again
of youth,
high school scents spreading in the halls of this
room,
agging is late again
(her breast sags, though
she has not been married)
catalina lost some of her
teeth
(she is contemplating of
suicide, had an attempt
but survived it)
ernie, still looks good
with his marine blue polo shirt
(though not well ironed
he split with wife, now in the US
starts anew with his second
wife and a math whiz kid

Everyday Characters III - The Belle Of The Ball Room

Years, years ago, ere yet my dreams
Had been of being wise and witty;
Ere I had done wth writing themes,
Or yawn'd o'er this infernal Chitty; --
Years, years ago, while all my joy
Was in my fowling-piece and filly;
In short, while I was yet a boy,
I fell in love with Laura Lily.

I saw her at the County Ball;
There, when the sounds of flute and fiddle
Gave signal sweet in that old hall
Of hands across and down the middle,
Hers was the subtlest spell by far
Of all that set young hearts romancing:
She was our queen, our rose, our star;
And then she danced -- oh, Heaven, her dancing!

Dark was her hair, her hand was white;
Her voice was exquisitely tender;
