the science of hatred

by Jedidiah Vinzon


kahit niyebe tumutunaw sa kamay


ngunit sa iyong daliri

nanginginig, nananalangin


humihingi ng patawad

nagmamakaawa


para matunaw, para maging

tubig


at makabalik sa langit

– 

even snow melts

on my hand


but in your finger

it shivers, prays


pleading for forgiveness

begging


to melt, to become

water


and to return to the sky.
