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.

Punebre (Awit sa Patay)

Putang mga ama!
Maagang nangawala
isa-isang nag-alsabalutan
naiwan
kawawa naman
kaming kapos sa karanasan.
Sino ngayon
sasalo sa mga naiwan n'yo?
Ako?
Kami?
Ano, bali?

Putang mga ama talaga!

- written some time in 2000 at the wake of a grandparent
