mistikonigma: kagabhion ug mga aninipot

(alang nilang Urias Almagro, Ricardo P. Baladjay, Junne Canizares, Ernesto D. Lariosa, Omar Khalid ug Michael Obenieta)

Lawod sa gumonhap gayod king kagabhion
Matag lakang sa kangitngit adunay kasikas
Taliwala sa kadulom kakulba bation
Bisan pa's tipik sa kahayag nga namasibas

King gabii gidugokan sa mga aninipot
Nagkipatkipat daw mga mutya sa kangitngit
Ah lamat nga pasunding sa tahoming kanindot
Oh, talan-awon nga dili takos manamilit

Nagpid-okpid-ok nga mga aninipot nanintal
Samtang ning galamhan kahibulong nahimugso
Ning alimpatakan pangutana nahipintal
Sugyot sa pangukit king diwa buot manukso

Pagsipot ning mga aninipot tingalang dako
Sahi sa hut-ong sa mga sulo sa hunasan
Kinsa man ang nagpasanag sa ilang mga pako
Aron king malaksot nga kangitngit mahugasan?

Kaha mugna man sila sa dimakitang Kamot
Aron ning kangitngit sa kinabuhi magdan-ag
Kay sa ingon pagpakasala ta man di mosamot
Ug sa madulom kahilayan dili madam-ag

King gabii gialirongan sa mga aninipot
Nagkislapkislap daw mga bitoong natagak
Daw mga mata sa nimpang diwanag mikipot
Mga tipik sa tugahalang kaambong inagak

Lasang sa gumonhap gayod king kagabhion
Matag panampiling sa kangitngit may kasibot
Taliwala sa kadulom kagil-as tition
Bisan pa's kinispatkispat sa mga aninipot!

"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.
