Encarnacion

(Pagsasakatawang-tao)

ni Sch. Renel C. Dimacali, SJ

Halina't lumangoy
sa burak ng kamatayan
nang marinig taghoy
hangin sa sinapupunan.

Unos ng pighati't
nakasasakal na langit
pumaikot, pumulupot
sa pag-asang bubot.

Sabayan ang alon,
salungatin ang pag-agos.
Sisirin, iahon
kaluluwang nakagapos.

At mahinahong sagipin
ang nalulunod na bitwin.
