Oikos: Drabbles

#A3Prompt19: Maine, Alden, and a date with the person they were from a year ago. 

It was the usual night for everyone

The sky was still bluish black

The streets were filled with rushing vehicles

Everything was the usual, except

for the man and the orange light post

It was a hard day for him

he got fired from his job

his girl broke up with him

and dirty laundry was waiting at home

And the orange light post?

In the morning, it got peed by some dogs

At noon, someone nailed some ads on it

And just before the man stood near it

a woman was stabbed, and a crazy fellow

got shot in the head by some policeman

And ordinary night, indeed

But at that moment, on that night

Someone with a broken soul

stood by an orange light post to plan

for tomorrow

It was a night with bluish-black sky

With vehicles rushing

and people passing by without a care for him.

Iniihip ang hangin,

at nilalagas ang mga dahon ng noon

upang likhain ang mga ngayon.

Umiihip ang hangin,

lalagasin,

lalagasin ang mga dahon ng ngayon

upang likhain ang bukas.

Tayo ang hanging umiihip,

tayo ang lalagas sa mga dahon ng noon,

tayo ang lalagas sa mga dahon ng ngayon,

tayo ang lilikha ng bukas.
