Ars poetica
Para kay Sir Nick

Minsan lang akong tumula
mas madalang pa kung
itanghal ang akda
Madalas kasing takasan ng talinhaga
Di kaya, malamang nga,
sadyang kimi sa lenggwahe
o mailap lang talaga ang
Salita.

Pero di ba’t sinabi mong
Maliit man at mangmang
May salita ring mahihirang?

 

 

Panaka-naka kung pumilantik
sa utak ko ang mga titik
Kung may hibik, hikbi, hagikhik
pana-panahong sumisindi
sa diwa
Nalilimot ang pagkakimi
nitong nagpapakamayumi.

Pero di ba’t sinabi mong
Maliit man at mangmang
May salita ring mahihirang?

Sinabi mo pa nga,
“Kung ano ang iyong sambit,
panindigan mo!”
dahil may kahihinatnan
matalas kung maipamalas
payak na puntirya
nagmamaka-makata man.

 

 

Salamat, salamat,
sa tikas mo’t ehemplo
“Makibaka!”
“Isulong!”
“Maglingkod!”
“Rebolusyon!”
Di na lamang mga salitang
pamimilosopo ng mangmang.

Hindi nga ba’t sinabi mong
Salita’t pananalita’y
Huwag pipigilan
Dahil maliit man at mangmang
May salita ring mahihirang.
UP Dean Virgilio Almario with Nick's brother
