Loss..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

he talks about how the three stars fell from
the sky that night
nothing is lost
there are still a thousand stars left

last night
the moon fell off from the clouds
into the lake
and his heart was broken
there was smoke after the splash
and then the light was gone
borrowed as it was

this morning
my sun did not come...

naghisgot siya
sa pagkahulog sa tulo ka bitoon
wala'y nawala
daghan pang nahibilin sa langit

kagabii
nahugno ang iyang dughan
sa dihang
nahulog ang bulan didto sa
lanaw
nag-aso ang tubig
sa tumang kainit
dayog kawala
sa kahayag nga hinulman

karong buntag
wala mitunga ang akong adlaw
