214th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan

214th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan. I wrote this early this morning while still reflecting on the tragedies that struck the northern part of Quezon and other provinces last month.

sonito 214

ontan la'y takot mi ed insabi
na biew-biew na makmaksil ya uran
mangalatenget so kaabungan
tan tinmeteoek so kakalasan

nidumaduma iman ya labi
ta bengat-bengat kamin asibuak
ya singa ayep ed katakelan
ya anggapo la so nasuruban

binmetag so kabuasan a napno
na hambayo'y nangis tan tagleey
dia ed dakulap na Sierra Madre

samput na bula'y Nobiembri'd saman
nen impalikna na Makauley
no panon ton baguten so bilay
