Karing Minuli Na
(An All Saints' Day Offering)
mayap pa ikayung
minuli na napun
ing katawan matbud mibudbud king gabun
kaybat midaun ing butul king aun
Maupayang Gamat kekayu minaun.
makarirya kayu santing yu kabilyan
alang sasaingsing, oras e mirasnan
bye alang angganan kekayung pintalan
benging madalumdum e yu na dalanan.
sindyan benditadung kandila king baul
king arap ning altar lablab na kumaul
ban keta akit yu ing keti king sulip
ikaming melakwan akwa yung a silip.
pangaras yu sulip ing disnan yu oyni
makasiklod ke ngan sisiguk mangadi
"kanan mi aldoldo ibye mu na ngeni"
boses gagaralgal oyni ing adwan mi.
when you come to join
the few, not on this fertile
planet Earth I was a cubicle
of flesh on your loin!
now you uncome and left
the unfew, not on this barren-swept
planet Earth you are a cubicle
of flesh on my loin!
(excerpt from my poem 'Elegy Unwritten')
Ampang kang Apung Victorio (Torio)
Mercado ampo
kang Apung Sergia (Tentang) Limpin (my grandparents)
