On the other hand, I just got back from a very toxic 1st Pangasinan Poetry Workshop (on the spot poetry writing) and our 2nd Poetry Reading. My book was launched despite the mass transport strike last March 1. We also proceeded with the lectures with less than 30 audience. Fr. Amalla (from Butuan) joined us on the second day (March 2) to help us initiate and orgazine SOLFED Dagupan chapter.
I read the following poems during the World Poetry Reading as my tribute to Pablo Neruda:
Say Pagew Mo Ag Ni Magenap
(Pangasinan a bersion na kumalabinduan anlong nen Pablo Neruda ed libro ton Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada.)
Say pagew mo ag ni magenap para’d pusok,
tan saray payak ko para’d kaoayangan mo.
No anto so nanaugip ed tapew
na kamareruam ontagey
nauyos ed sangik a mamataoen.
Sika so duman pakamuria ed kada agew.
Sinmabi kan singa linaew a sankaakop
da’ra’y rosas.
Minelag mo’y nanabeta’y taoen tan dalin
ed insaew mo.
Ag mangangga ya mantekiab a singa buraka.
Inkuan ko ya angansion ka ed dagem
singa saray saleng tan lusek.
Singa sikara atagey tan mangareereen ka,
tan maermen kan bengat la, a singa panlakbay.
Danopen mo’y ganagana ed sika
a singa daan ya dalan.
Atoooan ka’y alalig tan makakailiw iran bosis.
Abangonan ak tan no maminsan tinmekiab
tan pinmikal la’ra’y billit
ya inmugip ed kamareruam.

The poet is not a “little god”.
No, he is not a “little god”. --Pablo Neruda
say umaanlong et alioan dyus
ono makapanyarin anito
ya pantelekteleken to’y mundo
ed mangaraldalin a salita
no ag ta sakey a gumagaoa
atomo’d molikyular ya mundo
tan sakey a bengat la ya bosis
dia ed dinidyus ya uniberso
say umaanlong et managlaga
dia’d banoa’y sinuso tin salita
nipanon ya oala’y kakabatan
ed mistirio ton nia’y sansinakub
bangbalet alioan sakey a dyus
andi alioa met ya dinidyus
