Di tayo nagkamaling ipaglaban ang sa atin,
Pag-ibig sa Baya'y ipinag-igting,
Sa bawat kislap ng kandilang nanlilisik.

Minsa'y ang kampana ng puso'y nabibitin,
Ilang beses inanod sa nauudlot na pag-irog,
Bagkus ang lamat ay natapos
Ng kagimbal-gimbal na ulat ng ngayon --
Tayo'y nagwagi, nanalo ang pag-ibig!

Go ahead and lock your gimbal
Hurtle that spaceship
Right into my stable space station
At least I installed shock absorbers
But ****, keep running that engine
And you'll be crashing into me
At escape velocity
Till we're both hurtling from the solar system at the speed of light
(Different directions I might add)
So you keep burning that fuel
And see how long it takes
For me to lose this game of chicken.

Gimbal eyed and shrugged -
at rooks caw and ravens croaked
shriven threaded dawn.
