7/100

ano ang imik 

ng isang anino

sa pigurang

sa kanyay naglalang

sa mga pasakit

kanyang kalasag

sa pagka inutil

tungkod na matatag

ano ang imik 

ng isang anino

sa isang buhay

na hiniram

hahanapin din

sa pusod ng ilang

dilim sa liwanag

ay kumikinang

6/100

ever pensive and vigilant

but oh, the fraudulent 
and the insidious

the corrupted demands

and worldly dictates
drag the resolve to slumber

in the dubious dreamland

of augmented reality

my eyes are tired

and are to fall

to what light then

shall I rest my gaze
to keep this dying kindle
burning

    

5/100

looking

looking yonder the azure calm

as far as the mountainous border

of the divine tryst of realms

looking

looking through a somber pair

but can only go so far

to the limits of instinct

the truth

rests only in the heart

and only through its eyes

can solace be found
