i will nibble all
i will start on the brittle
part of the past
that the owner
left to be
forgotten
rotten
soft
delicious
even if i am used
to this
i cannot but stop
asking
if the past is delicious
why was it left to decay
====================
pangutana sa anay
kutkuton nako ang tanan
ari ko magsugod sa gabok
nga kagahapon
nga gitugyan sa tag-iya
sa kalimot
dunot
humok
lami
bisan naanad nako
ani di gihapon ko
kapugong
og pangutana
kon lami man ang kagahapon
nganong gipasagdang madunot
