Sinagtala



Parang asong buwang na nakaalpas
Sa abusong bato na marahas
At ngayon patungo na sa kolehiyo
'Sang bultong bagahe ang hatak ko

Sa sinagtala ang aking dormitoryo
Sa bagong bintana ng mundo ko
Namasid kang naglalakad sa ulap
Sa ating mata tayo'y nag-usap

Pinakilala ka ng kasama ko
Gradweyting sa devcom na kurso
Ako freshman sa kursong bio
Hindi ba tila nagmamadali ako

Sa isang inuman tayo nagkasipatan
Ang lambanog na asul ay ubus-ubusan
Kuwentuhan sa dilim ng lalim ng gabi
Natapos ang drama sa simbang-gabi

Sa unang sulyap sa bandang kinagisnan
Sumingit sa pila ikaw ang pumaraan
Sa unang dinig ng ingay at himig
Langit ang tabi habang El Bimbo'y tuminig

Salamat sa alaala binibining maganda
Bagong sibol pa lang ako, ika'y paalis na
Maging mabait sana ang tadhana sa iyo
Ang unang lumagi sa aking dormitoryo

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
