Thursday, August 25, 2005 maiiksing background lang ng tulang ito: mga apat na taon na ang nakakaraan pinagawa kami ng aming professor sa literature ng tula, parang gumawa daw kami ng analogy. Tapos ang ginawan kong analogy ay eyes = camera. ito tong tula sa baba ang kinalabasan nya. medyo sabog pa din. ilang taon ko ng pinapabasa yan sa mga kaibigan kong writer-poets sa Uste. mejo na-edit na din nila. sa mapag-tripan nyong basahin. share ko lang. maraming salamat. mga tsong post lang ng mga comments.

Your eyes
a camera that is broken.
It only cast distorted images of us.
Zoom: With 8 mm of dust and cobwebs clotting your lens,
these congeal your visions of our chances and promises.
You cannot even focus it anymore.
It is not my fault as you would like to think. It is you
who always see dust
and scratches.
Your eyes
a camera that is broken.
A picture perfect is possible no more,
for it only cast distorted images of us: Images
we can neither blur
nor sharpen. || posted by duane+wes+boom-boom
