undoytula: Re_

The beat falters on the remaining seconds.

It is dictated by the blink enhanced

by intermittent signals, transmitted by the towers.

This is the wide-eyed nightfall

where callous words and concretized thoughts

are meld, sharpened and held

better than viruses, bombs or swords.

Intent becomes the vessel

and uncertainty becomes the trend.

Here is the womb

of step-brothers, half-sisters,

sons from divorce, daughters from incest,

(for this is where divorce and incest

are constructed and enforced)

of fathers who look after

and mothers who game and gather.

In this womb looms a brood

brooding and breeding

with each other,

begetting two fathers

or none at all.

This is the xenophobic twilight

when souls spew newly

reincarnated copies,

almost similar but not quite.

And this not-so-but-somehow

sows them:

environmentalists who smoke,

moralists who curse,

artists who destroy.

They are brought out just

to fill the space and to erase gaps out.

This is the misty but solvable times

of plain, lethargic convolutions.

The Spirit rethinks

of birthing new spirits,

for there are too many a flesh

splitting hybrids of itself.

The journey is a centripetal loop

of shying away

from the refrained drawbacks

and deaths of the day.

Spiral and spires

The center becomes more of an atom. The horizon becomes more of an everyday.The staircase inverts with every step forward. And every step forward stamps a halt, even a backstep. The journey, which every thought and every breath utter, becomes known, and more unknowning becomes.

The eyes speak.
The lips listen.
The ears touch.
The lips smell.
The nose
speculates
the difference between
a jade and a itch.
Switches
Twitches
Glitches

In-between are more tweening acts, composite frame forms an action that was always still all along. All ironies cramp up the space, pump up the volume, sift each untouched corner. What's underneath becomes above, just knowing that there's more up there as there were down below. Then the staircase inverts. And every pace preludes a dash, as a dash postludes into the fifth basic step of ballet.

Prosthesis becomes the core. And the core never knew the message at all.


Tula ni Beverly Siy: "Nakapagtatakang nagtataka pa" (loooove it!)

Noong binigkas ito ni Ate Bebang para sa pagbubukas ng eksibit nina Ate Beng at Ynna, ngumawa ako. Shet talaga. I love Beverly Siy. I love you ate. Salamat sa mga ganitong tula, hindi pala ako nag-iisa.


Nakapagtatakang nagtataka pa

ang nanay

at tatay

ko kung

bakit di

ako mapirmi-pirmi

sa bahay

ng sino

man sa kanila. Bakit

nga raw

ba ako

palipat-lipat ng

trabaho? Bakit pabago-bago ng

karelasyon? At

paiba-iba ng

mga kaibigan?

Gusto ko

sanang ipaliwanag

sa kanila

na kapag matagal-tagal ka

ring naging

bola sa

pingpong, di

mo maiiwasang makasanayan ang pagpapa-dito at

doon, dito,

doon at

ang pagpapa-doon,

dito, doon,

dito. At

sandaang pang pagpapadito-dito at pagpapa-doon-doon. Sa

sandali namang

matapos ang

laro o

kahit sa pagkakataong datnan

lamang ng

pagod ang

mga manlalaro, hahayaan ka

nilang gumulong-gulong

sa kung

saan-saang sulok,

kahit pa

nga iyong namumutiktik sa

alikabok. Hihingal-hingal

ka ngayong maghihintay sa

kung sino

man ang

may awa

o panahon

para yumukod at pumulot.

Tula ni Beverly Siy

On Cyberium

Natutuwa ako sa mga kaibigan kong marunong mag-footnote. Pero hindi ko akalaing pag may na-coin kang bagong term tapos gagamitin ng iba, manghihinayang ka pala.

Pero hindi rin ako naniniwala sa IPR eh. Mas maiintindihan ko pa kung nasa ibang lupalop ka ng mundo e, hindi Pinoy, hindi ko nakainuman at hindi mo narinig sa aking gusto kong angkinin ang Cyberium. Kasi 'yung mga ganito naten noon, laro. Cyberium, matagal nang salita 'yan. Ginagamit sa fiction, brand name ng relo, isang online community. Pero 'yung cyberium na tinutukoy ko, derived from homorium. Ganoon.

Pero maninisipsip ka pa rin talaga.

"Indie is the new mainstream" (Sheryll Torres, 2009, at kung ang konseptong ito ay hindi lang tangi sa kanya, maiintindihan ko, kasi friend ko siya).
