Ibig Ko Lang Sabihin

Kinain ko
ang mga duhat
na nasa loob
ng ref

na siguro
itinabi mo
para kainin
sa umaga

Patawarin mo ako
napakasarap nila
matatamis
at napakalamig


This Is Just To Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
