Paghawi (Tula ng Isang Lupa)

Published on November 11, 2009

Ni DANIEL B. VEGAS

Kilala ko
ang talampakan
na nagkakalyo
na nakikipagniig
sa akin

Ang mga paang
pinagpala
sa tuwinang
tumatawid
sa kaparangan
ay naghahatid
ng biyaya
sa tulad kong
ibinaon sa limot

Kilala ko
ang bisig
na nakikipagbuno
sa karit
na masuyong
nagdadampi
sa alay
kong buhay

Alam ko
ang lasa
ng maalat
na luha
ng mga humahagulgol
sa tuwinang
may mga buwitre
na nagtatangkang
putulin
ang ating
pagkakaugnay

Higit kong
kinikilala
ang mga taong
umaakyat
ng burol
upang matanto
ang kagandahan
ng kapatagan

Makauri
ang pagkilala ko
sa kung sino
ang dapat
na nagmamay-ari
sa akin
