WHAT WERE YOUR

HABAL-HABAL?
 BALAKI KO ‘DAY
SAMTANG GASAKAY
TAG HABAL-HABAL
 Balaki ko day
Samtang gasakay ta’g habalhabal.
Idat-ol og samut
Kanang imong dughan
Nganhi sa akong bukobuko
Aron mas mabatyagan ko ang
hinagubtob
Sa imong kasingkasing.
Sa mga libaong nga atong malabyan.
Gaksa ko paghugot
Sama sa lastikong
Mipungpong sa imong buhok.
Ug sa kainit sa imong ginhawa
Gitika kining akong dughan.
Ang mga balili unya
Nga naghalok sa ‘tong batiis
Isipon tang kaugaligong mga dila.
Dayon samtang nagakatulin
Kining atong dagan,
Mamiyong tag maghangad
Ngadto sa kawanangan
Aron sugaton ang taligsik
Sa uwan, dahon, ug bulak.

 THE PASSIONATE
SHEPHERD TO HIS LOVE
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove, A gown made of the finest wool
That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Which from our pretty Lambs we pull;
Woods, or steepy mountain yields. Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
And we will sit upon the Rocks,
Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks, A belt of straw and Ivy buds,
By shallow Rivers to whose falls
With Coral clasps and Amber studs:
Melodious birds sing Madrigals.
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
And I will make thee beds of Roses
The Shepherds’ Swains shall dance and sing
And a thousand fragrant posies,
For thy delight each May-morning:
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
If these delights thy mind may move,
Embroidered all with leaves of Myrtle;
Then live with me, and be my love.

The Haiyan Dead
Do not sleep.
They walk our streets
climb stairs of roofless houses
by Merlie Alunan latchless windows blown-off doors
they are looking for the bed by the window
cocks crowing at dawn lizards in the eaves
they are looking for the men
who loved them at night the women
who made them crawl like puppies
to their breasts babes they held in arms
the boy who climbed trees the Haiyan dead
are looking in the rubble for the child
they once were the youth they once were
the bride with flowers in her hair
red-lipped perfumed women
white-haired father gap-toothed crone
selling peanuts by the church door
the drunk by a street lamp waiting
BOOM! for his house to come by the girl dreaming
under the moon the Haiyan dead are
looking for the moon washed out
The Haiyan Dead in a tumult of water that melted their bodies
they are looking for their bodies that once
by Merlie Alunan moved to the dance to play
to the rhythms of love moved
in the simple ways–before wind
lifted sea and smashed it on the land–
of breath talk words shaping
in their throats lips tongues
the Haiyan dead are looking
for a song they used to love a poem
a prayer they had raised that sea had
swallowed before it could be said
the Haiyan dead are looking for
the eyes of God suddenly blinded
in the sudden murk white wind seething
water salt sand black silt–and that is why
the Haiyan dead will walk among us
BOOM! endlessly sleepless–
