Ayon sa alamat, lason ng pana ni Pagtuga
Ang lumikha sa bulkan—libingan ito
Ng dalagang namatay sa isang digmaan
Ngayon, ano ang tutubo sa paanan ng Mayon
Gayong nagiging malawak na itong sementeryo
Ng abo ng tao. Manganganak na kaya ito?
Tinitigan ko ang nakangangang bulkan-binabalot
Ng ulap at ng sariling usok ang tuktok, gatas sa labi
Baka sakali, magpakita nang may silbi sa kamera
Sa isang retrato na ibinibenta ng mga bata sa Cagsawa
Lusaw na tae ang nagliliyab na lava, dumadaloy pababa
Matandang nag-ngangangang ayon naman sa isang makata

Sa isang lumang postcard na nakita ko sa Antigo Merkado

Kapag sa malayo, isa syang magandag sikyung nakatanod
Handa sa pagkapkap, naghihitay sa iyong pagpasok.
