panimalos sa musa

Pirmi lang ko nimong ipadaplin,
binlan ra sa imong mga mumho
nga oras. Sige lang kang busy:
pagpangita og kwarta,
pag-atiman sa imong kapikas,
laag-suroy kauban
ang imong mga higala.

Pwes karong gabhiona,
alirongan ti ka. Singgitan
sa mga pulong nga gilaayan
sa pagpaabot. Uyugon
ang imong mga kamot
hangtod mokuha ka
Og ballpen, papel o laptop.

Dili ko mohawa. Akong mando:
sulat hangtod mohayag

ang akong kangitngit.

Makapilang higayon ako gapaabot

nimo diri sa kahilom. Kon motungha man ka,

bitin lang imong mga hunghong

sa dulom. Wala nang mga linya

nga makahangak sa baga.

Wala na imong pasumbingay

nga makagitik sa akong tingkoy.

Wala na imong mga hubad

sa akong unod atol sa ting-init

ug ting-ulan. Wala na imong pinakatay

sa imong bolpen nga gatila

sa akong dunggan ug dughan.

Naunsa naman tawon ka, Ton?

kon maginatbangay man lang

imong nawong blangko pa sa papel.

Kadaghan ba sa imong pasumangil uy:

nangitag trabaho, nagtagay uban sa higala,

ug karon na-busy’g rebyu para sa Law?

law, law ka lang! Nga sige lag tan-aw

og porno sa imong laptop.

Unya ako naa ra pirmi

sa imong abay, naghubo

ug namugnaw sa sige’g paabot

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

salo-salmot

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.
