Welcome to The Chronicle of Change

The Chronicle of Change is a collection of poetry written since the 1990s. As most of the poems are in hard copy, I will have to encode them one by one, so bear with me. I will be posting them as I go along.

The dates of posting are not necessarily the dates of creation.

I do not and never will claim that they are good, but if you find value in them, I thank you. You are most welcome to comment. I welcome both praise and criticism.

If for any reason you need to quote, lift excerpts, print, publish, or refer to the poems in any way, I would appreciate a note or an email, an acknowledgment of ownership, and an acknowledgment of the website. Intellectual property rights do apply.

Pagsisilang

Matagal din kitang ipinagtiis
Banye-banyerang mga salita ang
Pinalampas
Pinaalpas sa ihip ng mga gabing
Walang pasintabi
Kung liliparin
Ng hangin ang mga bugso
At kadyot ng damdamin
Tangay-tangay ang katinuang
Umaalpas
Na parang tubig sa mga kamay.
At ngayong kaharap na kita
Sa katulad na gabi
Ipagkakanulo ang himbing
Ng tulog
Upang dinggin ang mga umuudyok
Na kulog.
