Espanya, sa Likod ng Katawang Pangkalawakan


Kay sarap kahit panandali ang mapaso sa init ng damdaming kakaiba sa kulo ng langit
Ang singaw ay malaimpyernong tunay sa ibabaw ng dibdib
Ang walang humpay na daloy ng dugo sa bawat ugat ng kaisipan
Mas higit pa sa lamig ng ng dulas ng yelo sa taglamig

Bawat hinga sa aking ilong at mga mata
Ibinabalik ay daigdig ng kapayapaan at saya
Ang pagsakop ng mga maninirang dalubyo sa sariling sanlibutan
Matatakasan at madudulasan ang mga masasamang nilalang

Dahil sa bawat paghawak ng aking mga kamay sa iyong magarang damit
Lambing at kalayaan lamang ang iyong mga sinasambit
Sa pagkuha nating ng kanya-kanyang apoy
Isipin natin na patuloy ang liwanag sa kahirapan

Kahit madalas mamalik mata sa putukan
Habang tinatahak ang lugar ni senador
Nalayang ang katangi-katanging halina ng isang multo
Nakikipag-unahan para mapansin

At makita ang malaking lobong puti
Sa mga buhay na yelong naglalakad
Tumatalbog sumisipol ang mga singkit na kalawit
Sa harapan ng pintuan sa katawang pangkalawakan

Talagang walang tigil ang mga pagtitig
Para bumalik ang ninanais
Ang halindog ng multong pag-ibig
Mapuputol at maglalaho sa titig

Kaya habang bumabalik sa patayan
O umeeskapo sa daloy ng buhay
Ako ay titingin sa harap ng kometa
Baka sakaling ikaw ay makita

A Lifetime's Worth of Education (from a Filipino Thomasian Medical Student)

...because even if you have attained the highest level or position in the medical field, you are always a student of medicine. I wrote this blog on March 10, 2006 in my yahoo 360 account as an attempt to blog about my medical life (which I failed to do). This was written days before I became a 4th year student, a medical clerk, or in the medical lingo, "the lowest life form in the hospital"... Ever since I entered medical school, my whole life turned up side down. It was like I’m adrift into the whirling pool of uncertainties. I counted every moment, every second, living it day by day. They said it would only take a short time to finish medicine, the hell with it (4 years of pre-med, 4 years of med proper, 1 year of internship, 3-5 years of residency and 1-2 years of fellowship). Partially it was true, toxicities make time fly in lightspeed. I am a 3rd year medical student at UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and an incoming clerk (duty starts at april 15). Whenever I remin...

Room

When  we were surrounded by chairs and whiteboards Books afloat and skulls on the table Light escaping from the other room Sunrays piercing thru the blinds You were looking at me the way you are looking at him Right now.

Your Grace

Black Digital ravens slowly descend Sliding to open does my hand Unearthing the letter from your Grace Reforming your Sansa's face Galloping steps between our Wall Heavy as the Red wedding at the Hall Can never be mine your Grace Gaze at my white walker face Our path begets Winterfell A great kingdom burned to hell See through the flames your grace Murder by the Hound's daze A visit from the One Eyed Crow Is an arrow from Ygritte 's bow Its the beheading scene your grace These mind bending plots to haze
