galatea resurrects #2

hear marjorie evasco recite this poem: KAOS 89.3 FM cross cultural poetics: ochre tones

In English:
There is a season to this ripening,
the way sap of tree rises to fulfill
fruit of the topmost branch,
or the motion of jasmine
climbing trellises to show off
a single blossom at new moon tide. ...

Reason for this ripening.
You are goldened by my tongue.

In Cebuano:
Adunay panahon alang sa pagkahinog.
Sama sa pagtaob sa duga sa kahoy aron mopalumoy sa bunga
Sa kinatumyang sanga sa kahoy, o sama sa
Sampagita nga mosalingsing sa kinatas-an
Aron ipasundayag ang nag-inusara niyang bulak
Niining bag-ong bulan sa tingtaob. ...

Diya hinungdan kining pagkahinog.
Gibulawan ka sa akong dila.

when you're singing karaoke,
really singing from the center of your being,
in whatever town you're in, whatever bar, club or smoky poolroom...

the only thing that really matters is...

Destiny
