Katatapos Lang: Agosto 2004

Setyembre na. Noong nasa Heights pa ako, dalawa sa mga una kong nagustuhang tula ang "Setyembre" nina Ivy Rosales at Mely Guerrero. Lagi kong sinasabi, malaki ang pagpapasalamat ko kay Mely (siya ang patnugot ng Pinoy Staff na tumanggap sa akin sa Heights noon); kung hindi niya nakita ang potensyal ko noon sa pagtula, maaaring naiba sana ang tinahak ko, ibang mga oportunidad ang nabuksan, ibang mga tao ang nakilala.

Nitong nagdaang Agosto, heto ang lagom ng mga pinagkaabalahan. Higit kaninupaman, para sa akin ito: para makumbinsi ang sarili na sa kabila ng lahat (sa lahat-lahat!), may mga nagagawa at nagagawang tapusin (at takot na rin akong mag-crash ang laptop at maburang lahat ng alaala, kasama ang mga maaaring mailagay sa CV).

Narito ang dalawang tula nina Ivy at Mely, na lumabas sa isyu ng Heights kung saan una akong nakapagpalathala noon ng tula (1999).

Setyembre
Melenaida Guerrero

Bagong-ligo ang mundo.

Nangingislap ang palikpik
ng pla-pla sa bilao.
Nangingintab din ang bayabas
sinlaki ng kamao.
Rumaragasa ang ilog,
sumasalpok pa sa bato.
May mayang nakatunghay
sa damong nakayuko.

Hubad ang lahat-lahat.

Naghihintay na lamang
mabihisan ng bagong hamog.

~~
Setyembre
Ivy A. Rosales

Sa kabilang pisngi ng mundo,
nagpapatihulog ang matatandang dahon.
Pinagliliwanag ang paligid
ng mga sangang tahimik na nagpaparaya.
Nag-aalab ang larawang ito sa kalendaryo.

Sa labas, tinutupok ng hanging mabagsik
ang mga bulaklak ng lansones.
Hinihintay ng mga dahon ang pagsalpok
ng butil-butil at nagbabantang ulan.

Muling pipihit sandali ang daigdig.
Kapag ganitong ika-siyam na buwan,
pumapatak ang lahat sa lupang biniyayaan.
