dalit-pamipaganaca

Ala kung almusalan a tucinu ampong single. E ke alawe maratna ing mitatawung kalang.
Makananu pin, nung ngeni, ding sala, karayum nong tutusuk karing makalbag king kyak a mata. Nung ngeni, ding alala ning milabas a tula, meging api nong kakawul, pupuluput at mumuma king kanakung tundun?


… maybe I’m in the black, maybe i’m on my knees
maybe I’m in the gap between the two trapezes
but my heart is beating and my pulses start
cathedrals in my heart
And we saw oh this light
I swear you, emerge blinking into
to tell me it’s alright
as we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
and every tear’s a waterfall, is a waterfall
oh
is a waterfall
oh oh oh
is a waterfall
every tear
is a waterfall
oh oh oh . . .


Anti ya mong babing pupulkerwan, mipupusit nya ta gulung-gulungan ining bokalistang kasiping kung bale. Pilit neng pakiyabutan ing nota. Ene man love song—wari ku metung yang dalit-pamipaganaca.


Sasalpuk at mumugse tuluy king madilo-dilo kung tasa ing mapait a kape –bisang tumakas? O bisang makiyanib? Karing dabeung at kaksing da ring instrumentung e ra naman akasundu ning pibirit-birit a kanta.


“Mamandar ne pala ang DVD player. Linarin ku ne napun” . . .


(Pagiling-giling ya. Kabang lulukas ne ing panty na’t bra ning babaing bida— kening balas DVD a asali ku keng Divisoria)


Makiyagnan ya king koru da ring kakaung a asu ing karugkug at busina ning trak. Ing alti! Nung bakit e pa bisang mabating! Ba’ nanang atambak ining darala nang basura nu nukarin namang impyernus buring itambak!


Tikad-tikad yang balyerina ing miyanginan a kurtina—gulut na nining awang a mekapal na king agi.
Terak-terak, e na keng babo ning pangtsa-tidwa kataung kama
pipagkeran
ning kakaulan
kikyakang bangke
king katayimikan.


Makipag-almusal ya ing lango. Ditak mu man, ala yang kagalo-galo. Nung misan, pikablas-kablas no ring keyang pakpak. Maglipat-lipat. King babo ning merimlang kape. King merimlang kama.


Yaku.
Ing lango.
Yaku ing sula-sulapo lango.
