Beef soup for the soul

November 22, 2008

Pho

 

Natagpuan ko ang ligaya

Sa malaking mangkok

Ng mainit na sabaw

Na gumuhit sa lalamunan

Ngayong maulan na gabi,

Kasabay sa paggapang

Ng init sa kaibuturan

Nang aking masulyapan

Itong mukha’t katawang

Nakalantad sa ‘king harap:

 

Buo ang bawat hilatsa

Ng bawat laman ng hapag 

Ngunit mailap ang mata,

Di masilo ng aking tingin

At mahaharot na ngiti;

Pinili ang pagtunganga

Nalimot sariling gutom

Kaya kahit umuwing di ubos

Itong piniling hapunan,

Busog din ang pakiramdam.

Dejame que te hable tambien con tu silencio / claro como una lampara, simple como un anillo. / Eres como la noche, callada y constelada. / Tu silencio es de estrella, tan lejano y sencillo. -- Pablo Neruda, 'I Like For You To Be Still'
