"Saying and Said"
published: SEMNET, The Official Publication of the 
Seminarians' Network of the Philippines, 2012. 


A master once asked:
What is said has its saying,
Which is beyond the limit of what is said.
Listen not merely to what is said
But also to the saying
A said if not uttered is nothing,
But a saying remains essential
Even without having said it,
Isn’t it?


No one answered. 




“Ain’t”

In a city’s bakeshop
A little child with filth came
Stood at my side
Touched me, raised an open hand

I spoke to her in silence
An imploring gaze was her response
So I gave to her the bread I bought
Yet she raised another hand.
