Ang Naninigarilyo/The Smoker

Ako nga/I
ang sumusunog/burn fire
at ang abo'y aking nalilika/my ashes erupting from an empty
gumagawa ng mahikang ako lang ang may alam/makes magic only I see

Ako nga/Me, Ergo
gumagawa ng isang dagundong/thunder
hiningang di mo naririnig/bated breath you hear not
sa pagsambulat/below the flaming
ng apoy sa paanan mong lunod/foot measuring flood

Ako nga/I, indeed

Panimula (Introduction)

"Kung ang tao'y binubuhay ng init, at ang init ay nagmumula sa isang malaking bola ng apoy, ang aking mga nalikha at mga malilikha ay mga mumunting imaheng gawa din ng apoy, usok."

("If it's a ball of fire vibrating heat towards man to spring life out of his less vibrating body, then all created by his hands never less come from the burning origin, and are smokes, deflected.")

Why blog?

Because I want to prove myself I can. That I can write. That I can type. That I can give myself some minutes everyday to discover old things about old things, or old things about new things, or new things about new things.
