Origami
Marjorie Evasco
Yaring salita’y bumubuka, tinitipon ang hangin
Upang paliksihin ang tagak sa paglipad
Hilaga ng aking araw sa iyo.
Hinuhugisan ko yaring tula
Buhat sa papel, tinutupi
Ang pagi-pagitan ng ating mga kapanahunan.
Yaring tula ay isang tagak
Na sa pagkabuka ng mga pakpak,
Ang papel ay magiging wagas at walang-laman.
Origami
Marjorie Evasco
This word unfolds, gathers up wind
To speed the crane’s flight
North of my sun to you.
I am shaping this poem
Out of paper, folding
Distances between our seasons.
This poem is a crane.
When its wings unfold,
The paper will be pure and empty

Hello. I am a graduating student from UP Manila and blog hopping led me here. :) I was wondering if you could answer a survey I made regarding Filipino bloggers. This is for my thesis and answering will only take you a couple of minutes.

Confidentiality will be of utmost priority. Answering my survey will be very much appreciated. Thanks! :)
