James soriano

The living room is a unity of space.

There are no walls no boundaries separating sofa from workspace from dining table from kitchen.

Onlythe bathroom isenclosedin the corner withtwo walls and adoor.

Father watches basketball as brother maps logarithms as sister eats adobo as maid washes dishes, coordinates on a scatter plot with no point of origin no lines no segments no asymptotes.

The dog is defecating in the bathroom. How

we manage to keep to ourselves.

Paliwanagnicko caluya

Ikaw ang aking talinhaga gabi-gabiSa halip na maningning na buwan Mga mata sa liwanag na pumapalibotsa malawak na lungsod na sakop

ng aking durungawan. Malayo paang pagsikat ng araw, matagal pa

bago lumubog ang bawat bubogng liwanag na nakalutang sa ilog.

Kagabi, sinara ko ang bintanasa hanging nagbabanta ng ulan.

Tumungo ako sa banyo, naghilamosupang mahimasmasan. Binalikan kita

kahit natakpan ka na ng ulap. Ikaw pa rin

ang dahilan, ikaw ang nananatiling dahilan.

monchinG DamasinG

Kay raming araw akong humimlay sa lilim ng mga ulap, minasdan ang hubogang salimbay ng mga lumilisang ibonsa marupok kong mga palad. Kay bilis

magbago ng mga anino ng akasya nang biglang umalpas sa kanlungan nito ang sanlaksang ibong wari sa pamumulaklakat ipinapagpag sa mga sanga ang mga taon.Noo’y nagsimula na rin akong umugoy at manlagasng gunita habang kumikintal ang araw sa mga naglipanang gusali. Kay bagal huminga ng lupa, kay bagal ng mga araw at buwangdumiriin sa palad ng mga puno’t paslit na hinahabol ang anino ng mga ibon sa mga aspaltong daan.At maraming ulit kong inilahad ang aking mga paladsa malawak na bughaw—wala akong natutuhan

kundi pumikit at humaraya mula sa sarilikong nakaraan. Kundi pumikit at suklaman ang nakikita. Mabagal ko nang binabalikanang iniukit ng liwanag sa aking loobhabang nagsisimula akong huminga ng maiitim na anino, iyong tinatawag nating usok.
