Healing
By Marissa Dela Cruz Reorizo-Redburn
translated by Helga Andrea R. Casillan
My machete uproots the weeds from the earth. I dig out the kurokamote, the carabao
grass, the wild ginger and the many other weeds whose names I do not know. Even the
bashful mimosa does not escape my blade. They are left in many mounds in my trail. I gather
them all into one, the mimosa’s thorns stabbing my hands and arms.
The sun beating down on my skin, the stinging of the thorns, and the weight growing
steadily heavier in my chest come in searing waves and overpower me.
My machete speeds up in its task until I wound the cheeks of the earth. My sweat rains down
on the ground, bathing my chest and drenching the weeds below. I stare down at my blade
for some time.
One by one, I pluck out the thorns piercing my skin. Then, gingerly, I bury the grass
and weeds and flatten the ground above them.I rinse my machete in the stream. The dirt that
stained its blade is quietly carried away by the current.

Activity 7
MAYON
KRISTIAN SENDON CORDERO
CAMARINES SUR
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-binalot
Ng ulap at ng sariling usok ang Tuktok, gatas sa labi.
Baka sakali, magpakita, nang may silbi ang kamera.
Sa ilang retrato na ibinebenta ng mga bata sa Cagsawa
Lusaw na tae ang nagliliyab na lava, Dumadaloy pababa.
Matandang nag nganganga ayon Naman sa isang makata
Sa isang lumang postcard na nakita Ko sa Antigo Merkado----
Kapag sa malayo, isa siyang Magandang sikyung nakatanod,
Handa sa pagkapkap, naghihintay sa Iyong pagpasok.
