I have only posted my tanka since I don’t have the permission of the other poet.



balancing
the moon on my head...
a gentle surf song
under what I think
is laughter




each indiscretion
passes through me
like a gallstone. . .
this urge to surface
from my shadow



in the blue time
of a lilac there was a gap—
I rubbed
my eyes and thought,
“she’s lost”


alone
in the moonlight
a woman
rakes in the shallows. . .
her silence filled with gull cries


the flowers
of the city are death-like
at times . . .
my sorrow stems from a song
full of lonely nights


silence is rain
with the sound turned down,
echoes
memories that die . . .
life is nothing but a dream



the concert room
forged inside my brain
hammers
a prelude of its own . . .
tree ferns frame the ocean view

  Karlo Sevilla Dear Aesthete,  This Could Turn Deadly   You whisper to me that the lonely firefly that blinks and dives down the undergrowth is a teardrop of a broken star.   And this same night amidst the chaos, the infant’s soft laughter is the chimes of a miniature carillon — the last music her mother shall ever hear now that the martial knocks tremble the wooden door.   And you yourself have long realized that you will stand up against injustice no matter the cost, because the most beautiful thing in this life is to do what is right even at supreme sacrifice. © Karlo Sevilla Philippines  Karlo Sevilla of Quezon City, P nohilippines is the author of the full-length poetry collection “Metro Manila Mammal” (Soma Publishing, 2018) and the chapbook “You” (Origami Poems Project, 2017).
