Magtanim ay di biro
Michael Thomas Nelmida
Dito sa aking
munting ari-
arian, magtanim
kang buto, ilulubog
sa kalaliman, matagal
mong paiinitan.Araw-
araw mong didiligan.
Araw-araw kong
aalagaan. Kahit
gaano kalalim
ang punla, walang
inaasahang bunga.
Planting is not a joke
Here in my
tiny
property, plant
a seed, plant it
deep, for a long time
soak it in the sun.
Water it daily.
Daily, I will
tend to it. No matter
how deep
the seed is, it won’t
bear fruit.
