Lourd Greggory Crisol<\/em><\/p>\n

Hinay-hinay kong gibuklad
\nang nakaputus nga dahon sa saging
\nug nitumaw ang aso
\nnga naghatod sa kahumot sa manok.<\/p>\n

Sa tunga niining nakahapin nga dahon
\nnakaplastar ang usa ka takos nga kan-on,
\ngiibabawan ug sapal, lamas, ug unud.<\/p>\n

Huwaran ko kini ug palapa
\nug dugmukun,
\nsagulun ang timpla sa manok
\nsa mamaak nga kahalang sa sili ug sibudying.<\/p>\n

Mupudyut ug katunga sa kumkum nga kan-on,
\ndimdimon ang kalami ug kahalang.<\/p>\n

Samtang nagkalingaw kog hungit,
\nnakalingi ko sa akong palibot,<\/p>\n

nakita ko mga grupo sa babayi nga nagkumbong,
\nmga laki nga nagsturya nga kanako banyagang pulung.<\/p>\n

Ug sa ilang mga mata ug hagik-hik nabatyagan ko
\nnga tungud niining usa ka hawop nga kan-on
\nnga giputus sa dahon,<\/p>\n

nibuklad ang pahiyum sa among mga nawong.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I slowly uncover
\nthe wrapper made of banana leaf,
\nslowly releasing the steam,
\nthat carries the aroma of cooked chicken.<\/p>\n

In the center of the leaf
\nA cup of rice awaits
\ntopped with coconut shreds, spices, and meat.<\/p>\n

On this dish I slowly pour palapa
\n<\/em>and start mashing,
\nblending the chicken\u2019s juices
\nto the spice of the <\/span>sili<\/em> and <\/span>sibudying<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I take a portion of the dish using my fingers
\nand relish the heat and tastes.<\/p>\n

While I partake my feast,
\nmy eyes can\u2019t help but wander,<\/p>\n

a group of women wearing kumbong, <\/em>I notice,
\nmen speaking tongues which are foreign to me.<\/p>\n

And in their eyes, and laughter I pondered
\nthat because of this moon shaped rice
\nwrapped in banana leaf,<\/span><\/p>\n

happiness unfurled on all our faces.<\/p>\n
