Sa Sunken Garden 1

"It's a biological urge."
- M.V. Garin

Pamadaling-araw
Dinidilaan tayo
Ng hanging
Galing Siberia.
Wala tayong
Pananggalang kundi
Mga bisig
At init
Na daladala.
Kaya't ibinigay
Natin ito
Sa isa't isa.


(Mula sa "San Isidro, Safehouse, Mga Panaginip at Iba pang Tula't Ilang Sentimyento de Asukal," Ikalawang Gantimpala, Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, 1989)
