kabisdak: kaniadto sa ignorante pa ko

4.06.2009

kaniadto sa ignorante pa ko

karon.

samtang naminaw ko
sa akong kaugalingon,
kangilo handomon
sa kagahapon.
kadtong panahonang
tanan masulbad
sa halok, gitik ug pahiyom.

kalu-od.

then milakaw
nagpalayo
then naghinuklog
then
gilood sa miagi...

apan
kwidaw og magkita pagbalik
dili kaha
mapukaw ang mga nahikatulog

nga mga pagbati?

apan kay lami

Samtang akong gigakos
ang mga paghamdom
sa kagagahapon
nag-alingasa ang kainit
sa gihilangtan
nga mga halok,gitik ug pahiyom.

Karon
Nagsalimuang ang kahiladman
Sa bulking wala kasirit.; April 7, 2009 at 9:24 PM
alig-ig said...: pagtulon-an alang kang juankusgan

Kay wala nay bulatik
Wala nay halok

Kay wala nay gitik
Wala nay gilok

Kon ang kalimot way gahom
Samot na ang pahiyom

Mao nga na hala pagpasirit

hagit sa handurawan

"Reimmersion (in native culture) is not an end in itself; it is to define more clearly the native grounds on which the Cebuano poet stands, the local parameters of language and experience, toward the end that he can stand in the world confident in the singular value of his own voice...

To conserve and extend the resources to which the Cebuano poet is heir by enhancing the natural rhythms of native speech, cultivating the rich concreteness of dialect, and confronting the particulars of his social experience...

The Cebuano poet today does not come upon a language that is already there, ready to use; he has to recreate it not only out of the rawness of daily speech but summon out of language that which has already fallen away from common consciousness and use."

"What could I say at all without my roots?... What could I say without coming to ground?... and I took no journey other than the return."
-- Pablo Neruda

"And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
-- T.S. Eliot

"The work of language deserves our greatest care, for the tongue’s fire may devour the world, or may light the way."
-- Scott Russell Sanders

"Memory that yearns to join the centre, a limb remembering the body from which it has been severed, like those bamboo thighs of the god… The personal vocabulary, the individual melody whose metre is one's biography, joins in that sound, with any luck, and the body moves like a walking, a waking island."
-- Derek Walcott

"We ascend, from the infinite pit of our perceptions, to the finite life of words."
-- William Bronk

Ari mo! Ambi, atong tilawan ang imong tampo. Palihog ipadala lang ang tinagik nga balak ug sugilanon ngadto sa geemyko@gmail.com.

Kinahanglang bag-o pang haon ang mugna nga imong buot idalit. Ang tigpasiugda ug tigdumala (moderator) niining balayan gapanilap sa katungod nga mopili ug modumili sa tampo. Tugotan pod unta siya og higayon nga mosugyot pagdugang og asin kon matab-angan usahay, pasabwan kun paughan gamay imong hinukad. Mao'y tumong ining balayan ang mamugnaong paghalingay ug pagsaw-anay sa atong gidalit. Kon gibalibaran, palihog ayaw og tyabaw. Ayaw tawon pamaak. Lagmit wala lang mobukal ang lana sa tigdumala kabahin sa timailhan sa tinuod nga wakwak.
