Sa Mata ni Andres

by ABIGAIL M. ADRIATICO Maulap ang kalangitan nang masilayan ng bayani ang kumpulan ng mga tao sa tabi.   Habang hawak ang mga karatulang may samu’t saring kataga, patuloy sa pagsigaw ang mga kabataang napupuno ng galit at hinagpis sa mga pangyayari sa bansa na hindi kanais-nais.   Kanyang naalala…

In Motion

by CZERIZHA KAIZEL S. ADZUARA At last, home calls. The soles of my feet will stroke the grounds walked by saints and heroes alike.   At last, my arms will sway and welcome  the warm bodies that once were just in photographs.   I lament the half of my college…

Lampos

by TRIXCY ANNE B. LOSERIAGA MALAYO RIN ang nilakad ni Dana bago niya natanaw ang pampang.  Maaliwalas ang simoy ng hangin at ang mga bata ay nagtatampisaw sa tubig. Nagkalat sa dalampasigan ang liwanag ng mga alitaptap.  Dumako ang ilang alitaptap sa kinaroroonan ni Dana. Hinuli niya ang isa subalit…

by ABIGAIL M. ADRIATICO OLIVE'S DESK was a complete mess. Her first day in college was fast approaching and she felt the need to do something to calm her nerves. Thinking she needed to redecorate her space, she took everything out of her desk and cork board.  With everything placed…

Beckoning

by CZERIZHA KAIZEL S. ADZUARA SHE FIRMLY stood with her two columns.  Her Baroque features depicted how she prevailed over the test of time. A saint in stone perched above her, which will soon watch us stride below.  She and the saint awaited us amid the rhythm of drums and…

The sun will always rise

I HAVE always been scared of the night. Lola often spoke tales of once terrifying beasts that lurked on moonless nights and preyed on the weak.  They came in different shapes and forms, usually disguising themselves to look almost human-like. It would be easy to mistake one for your friend.…

Ngiti ng Nangangarap

BAWAT MUKHA ng mga kabataang nakakasalamuha ko sa munting tindahan naming magkapatid, isang matamis na ngiti ang lagi kong nabibigay na kapalit. Naaalala ko ang mga panahong ako ang nasa kanilang posisyon, pursigidong abutin ang mga pangarap at hiling. Sa katotohanan, hindi ko naabot ang minithi ko. Subalit kahit ganoon,…

Garden of Memories

by TRIXCY ANNE B. LOSERIAGA I remember how we used to worry, every time we arrive late. The guards who always smile at us, and look after us,  while we listen to the humming of birds.   The fire trees that once danced with us, every time we walked past…

Afterglow

I TURNED my laptop off. I was rubbing my forehead as I heaved a sigh. Another Zoom meeting would have made my knees buckle.  Suddenly, I heard a tapping on my window followed by a pitter-patter on the rooftop. Why was the sky the darkest it had been in years? …
