MUSIC
 
The light sees us with our-own eyes
with open heavens and hands reaching for God
 
without keys and lines the notes are singing in us
lifting the chest of the man
that exhale us
 
the universe creates perfect music in us
when we feel that we are not alone
 
 
 
IMPRISONED BREATHING
 
with the time’s rain drops
and a chamomile tea bag
I washed out all of the pain
that lived on the lower jaw
under that street
with unriped and loud conifers rolling on her body
 
my breathing stayed imprisoned
among the iron rails
of the days without a name
 
 
 
TRANSPARENT SYNAPSES
 
I had bitten the apple only once
and I got pinched by the word from the pentagram inside
and from the tree up above your head
I told you that you are nude
and that you don’t need anybody
and that you can give birth to Adam all by yourself, now
and I gave you leaves so you could imprison yourself in a cage
in walnut shell – with transparent synapses

From Our Home
 
You gather things according to their seasons
a bunch of grapefruit flowers for autumn
plums for spring
 
We are the pulse of air, deep abyss, breasts of soil
we choose warm places to set our furniture
uncluttered places to put our tables and chairs
 
We drop our worries at the dinner table
with chopsticks we pick vegetables from the field afar
the fish bites on the bait inside our clay pot
 
We love the footprints near the rice stubble
deep wells, streams and rivers, ponds and puddles
 
Don’t sit in the room too long
go out into the field, out to the river bank
where leaves grow green and fish wriggle
 
Bite on fresh pineapple or sweet orange
and let juice drop on brown soil.
 
 
 
Mula sa aming Tahanan
 
Tinipon mo ang mga naaayon sa kanilang panahon
bungkos ng bulaklak ng kahel sa panahon ng taglagas
sa tagsibol mga sirwelas.
 
Tayo ang pulso ng hangin, ng malalim na kalaliman, dibdib ng kalupaan
pumipili tayo ng mainit na lugar para sa ating mga kagamitan
sa hindi makalat na lugar ang mga mesa at upuan
 
Isinasantabi pagharap sa kainan ating mga alalahanin
gamit ang “chopsticks” ating pinipitas ang mga gulay sa bukirin
isda’y kinagat ang bitag sa loob ng palayok
 
Gustong-gusto natin ang mga bakas ng ating mga paa malapit sa pilapil
Balong malalim, sapa at ilog, mga lawa at putikang nakaaaliw
 
Huwag kang maupo ng matagal sa loob ng silid
mamasyal ka sa bukirin, doon sa may tabing-ilog
mga dahon ay luntian at mga isda ay naglalaro
 
Kumagat ka ng sariwang pinya at matamis na kahel
at hayaang pumatak ang sabaw sa kayumangging lupa.
 
 
 
The Flower of Mount Yên Tử(*)
 
It blooms on the mountain top
Serene in strong winds
Under the clouds of change
 
Seven hundred years ago
The Buddha King Trần Nhân Tông
Lowered his head when passing by
 
You and I
Lower our heads when passing by
The children
Also lower their heads
When passing by
 
As we descend the mountain
We meet the pilgrims
Holding small bamboo canes
All eyes turn upward
As we amass heat to burn the flower to its roots.
___________
(*) The Yên Tử mountain in Quảng Ninh province. On the top of Yên Tử has Chùa Đồng Buddhist temple founded. It is a cloud-kissing mountain with its 1,068 km hight above the sea level. It was first built during the rule of the Lê dynasty, nearly 250 years ago.
 
 
 
Ang Bulaklak sa Bundok ng Yên Tử(*)
 
Namulaklak ito sa ibabaw ng bundok
Tahimik kahit malalakas ang hangin
Sa ilalim ng papalit-palit na mga ulap
 
May pitong-daan taon na ang nakalipas
Ang Budhang si King Trần Nhân Tông
Iniyuyuko kanyang ulo tuwing siya ay nagdaraan
 
Ikaw at ako
Ay yumuyuko din tuwing tayo ay nagdaraan
Ganoon din ang mga bata
Iniyuyuko ang kanilang mga ulo
Sa tuwing sila ay nagdaraan
 
Habang kami ay bumababa ng bundok
Nasalubong namin ang mga nagpapanata
May tangang maliliit na kawayang tungkod
Lahat ng mga mata ay napatingala
Napaso sa kanilang mga tingin ang ugat ng bulaklak.
