Questions Of The Termite Poem by RIC BASTASA

Questions Of The Termite

Rating: 5.0


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
