La Naval De Manila, My Mother

'Sa Iyong kandungan aking natikman ang unang pagmamahal. Kahit musmos pa, kapiling ka aking ina.'
Happiness, gladness, as I remember those old days.
We can surely say that we are lucky, but how?
The only thing in my life that I have is my mom.
My mom, my mom.
October 2,2008 was the enthonement of La Naval de Manila.
I was there at exactly 4: 30 pm.
The throne was empty.
Then at 5: 10 pm the lady went out of her royal room.
She was wearing her regalia, and a short procession was done.
I was seated at the left panel of the altar (I was lucky) . As she proceeded to her throne, I was crying.
Why? I remember my mom, La Naval's image is too motherly.
An affection of a mother and a son.
Tears fell. I did not able to touch her because of a certain shock.
My Queen, My Mother.

Manila

the dead are scattered
buried without the rituals

it's a pity, we are crying
about the victims of this calamity

nature claims
what rightfully belongs to its
hands

manila, you are warned
when will you start to mend your ways?

tomorrow will be too late
the trees once sobbed but manila

you never really cared
you dance your nights in sin and plunder

now the victims lay dead

Vicarious

you're off to Mindoro
on a night flight from Davao
to Manila

i am bound for Manila
on an early morning flight
for a conference
in Faura

we're heading finally to
a new direction in our lives
to start this new year
with a lot of missions

you go for the smile
i will try, but for the meantime i keep
my mouth shut

i like you (i doubt if this is
love, it is just a very sensitive issue)

IN LOVE WITH WHAT YOU AIN'T

I MET A GIRL NAMED MANILA
SWEET AS SHE CAN BE
EVERY TIME ID SEE HER
MY HEART WOULD GO CRAZY

WAS SHE SOMETHING SPECIAL
I CAN'T REALLY SAY
NEVER REALLY KNEW HER
IN THAT SPECIAL WAY

LIFES A PAIN AND THAT A FACT
PEOPLE FUELIN BACK TO BACK
I'M IN LOVE WITH WHERE YOUR AT
AS I SEE YOU DOIN IT


NAILIN' BASTARDS
LATE INTO THE NITE

Poetics 5....

'DEEP IN MY heart
i love you' this is the first song of the morning radio

the patio smells urine
the covering of the chamber pot is left open
the old man saves his urine
for ten days

you imagine nothing
i can see the blank wall again
nothing red like a rose

then you laugh so hard
the glass falls off from the sink
breaks its mouth on the
marble floor

you have a canvass of manila paper
and a black crayon and then
you draw a man with twenty tongues

Edgar Lee Masters

Godwin James

Harry Wilmans! You who fell in a swamp
Near Manila, following the flag,
You were not wounded by the greatness of a dream,
Or destroyed by ineffectual work,
Or driven to madness by Satanic snags;
You were not torn by aching nerves,
Nor did you carry great wounds to your old age.
You did not starve, for the government fed you.
You did not suffer yet cry "forward"
To an army which you led
Against a foe with mocking smiles,
Sharper than bayonets. You were not smitten down
By invisible bombs. You were not rejected
By those for whom you were defeated.
You did not eat the savorless bread
Which a poor alchemy had made from ideals.
You went to Manila, Harry Wilmans,
While I enlisted in the bedraggled army
Of bright-eyed, divine youths,
Who surged forward, who were driven back and fell,

White Wine

after the flesh of
the fish
we drink together
the white wine

still wet with wine
we dip
lips to lips

this time we taste
like sushi
more like that
Japanese geisha
lost in Manila
