SUSPENDED (poetry)

hurt ... bleeding ... wallowing
self encased
pity
shuddering ... shaking like
leaf at sight of
perpetual fall
all's bleak, black and serene
no hushed movement nor
trampling in the undergrowth
stripped of all glory
awaiting the sight
of falling leaves.

-- 09/08/1998

Sin-o ako (who am I)?

-- native cook of literary dessert -- a bard yearning to break out -- an Ilonggo waving chunks of muscovado
