ala na kung
atakman pang mas manyaman
nune ing kaul mung mapali't
matalik
minagus ya iti ampon menyaliksik
mabilug kung
laman at saka kalamnan.
migit adwang pulung banwa ing
milabas
ibat inyang
lakuan mu kung alang basbas
pilit at pilit ya pa ring
manumbalik
ing kekang kaul a mapali't matalik.
ding milabas at melagas a kauran
ala kung kayabe
libutad karimlan
nune ing mapali't matalik mung kaul
yang meging ulas ku at saka balabal.
ing
kaul mung mapali ampon matalik
ngeni mibait
at kinabye ya keka
matimyas nang lupa alang dit mang
batik
yapin ing malagung "Vera
Iconica".
while you
have left a part
of you in me here,
you also
have kept a part
of me in you
there
that
subtle single touch
from this suburban hand
wombed and nursed
in your inmost sanctum
now grown as big as life
itself.
para kang Vibing
at ing
alang anggang lugud kaya
