Jordan Legaspi Poems

Chosen people


We are the chosen people of God:
...

Day after day I stared at you
With your angelic face magnify my eyes
Started to dream if I could make friend with you
To be acquainted and communion face to face
...

You may curse the day
and may hate the night
but cannot live by its breath forever
for curse and hate
...

The new day


Today is the day
...

the poet


-the ancient and noble craft
...

Meticulous, she is
in details of structures and disciplines,
On the issue of mission
she is above all par-excellence
...

I


I am a creature with brain
...

She is the everyday blessing in the house:
from dusting the windows, tables, and cabinets
to washing the rugs, clothes and dishes,
from sweeping the floor and the stairs
...

Hundreds and thousand
Of relationships failed
Noted with lies
Every detail reap tears
...

Coffee and cigarette, and let the dark-evening begin
