The Girl With a Red Balloon in a Black & White World

The girl with a red balloon in a black & white world
walks the streets bled of lonely.
She thinks what a lovely white dress she wears.
And she smiles.

She knows lips have to be ruby red to be pretty.
But grey is OK.
And her pout stays put.
An extra spring is added to her skip.

She almost lets go of the balloon string.
And she frowns.
Her fingers tighten.

I will not stop writing paeans to the moon

I will not stop writing paeans
to the moon
The same way I can’t stop
getting up at dawn to pee

This mistress’ cruelty is pain
that strengthens
Lengthens life, sweet torture

Cool to the eye, warm to thought
Clouds cover its repose
singing melodies that singe

Ang Kulafu ug si Noy Andoy

Pagkalaay kung walay tagay
Busa nag-inusara na lang og yarok sa Kulafu si Noy Andoy
Nagkadugay, nagkahinay, dili na kalahutay
Dali na mahubog ang tiguwang
Apan tag tu’tu’o ra man gihapon ka botelya iyang mahurot
Gustong malimtan ang kamingaw
Napu’o na ka tuig sukad nipanaw si Nang Pining
Mga anak nila minyo ug galahi na
Ma-o ning si Raha Kulafu na lang ang iyang kanunayng kuyog
”Shot, nyor!”
Hangtud mahubog, mohigda daplin sa da’an gabilangkad
Nawalis and purol, walay putos, kita’ng lagay
