September 1999 Poems


For the month of September, 1999
 

                                      it has been almost a year
                                      the healing is almost done

                                      physically
                                      mentally
                                      emotionally

                                              no more qualms about climbing stairs
                                      and going out, unescorted, till late

                                      once more
                                      in solitude
                                      i feel secure.
 
 
 
 


For the week of September 6-12, 1999
 
 
 

                                                indulging in the ultimate luxury
                                      staying indoors Saturday and Sunday
                                      doing anything that strikes my fancy

                                      writing poetry, particularly
                                      while listening to Joey 92.3


 For the week of September 20-26, 1999

                                       kung ang hinahanap
                                                 ay katahimikan
                                       kahit sa pusod ng lungsod
                                       ito ay matatagpuan

                                       pagdating sa tahanan
                                       iwasang buksan
                                       radyo at telebisyon
                                       na ingay ang laman

                                       nakapagpapahinga nang higit
                                       sa  pagal na isipan
                                       ang pagsulat ng liham
                                       sa mga kaibigan
