At inihakbang nila ang kanilang mga paa.
Malamyos. May iisang ritmo.
Hindi tulad ng napagod na mga paa nating
minsan
sinubukang umindak; sumayaw
paikot sa nakapagitnang altar–
pag-ibig.
Ninais ikutin, sakupin--
sa padyak at indak
ng inosenteng mga paa--
ang malambot, nangingintab
at namumulaklak na damuhan.

Ding Bersu Cung e' Cucupas
Buri co sanang sambitlan
queca iparamdam
ding bersu cung
e’ cucupas capilan man
E ra calupa
ring iskulturang gintu nung nocarin la miyuquit
ding reyna at haring sasamban da
caring altar da ring tore at palasyu.
E ra cawangis
ding matitibag a diyos-diyosang
macatuclu caring telacad dang monumentu;
Sinta cu’t pacamalan!
quiquinang cang alang angga
caring cacung salita--lalung igit careta.
Pagnasan cung atipun ngan
ing sablang mayap a amanu
antimong miyayaliwang cule batu,
ban queta ibaldug cong tunggal-tunggal
lalam ning masalusung ilug—
at carin, manatili lang quiquislap
lacwan-dasan no man ning talusirang agus.
Nung sacali at mayala nong sala
dening cacung mata na angga qng catatawlian
y ca mu bucud ing buri dang atanglawan;
Nung sacali at e cu na apigil
ing pangapatad ning inawa,
at sinta co, e da na ca apanaya,
Lungub ca sa at malaus qng dampa tang mengulila
Mibalic ca
at carin aquit mu la
ding bersu cung macasulat
maningaya para queca. Aldo’t bengi,
maniguptang alang sawa:
ding bersu cu maplus la sa qng salu mu at ganaca;
balican mu ing milabas qng siping cung mipnung tula.

--------------
drooping
leaving. like leaf
drifting, nowhere to go.
your hatred is a cloud shrouding
our rays

--------------
silence
oh! rasping voice
let dead lips congregate--
and thrust their words unto my breast
like knives
