Ontology

Translated from Waray by Michael Carlo Villas

^

"Babaylan Pagali,

how did we get here?"

^

"I don’t know how or why

but I just opened my eyes

^

and again, would shut it off

when I no longer like."

“Babaylan Pagali,

tionan-o kita nakanhi?”

^

“Ambot tionan-o o kay-ano,

basta pinukrat ko la an ak’ mga mata

^

ngan ipipiyong na la liwat

kun nadiri na.”
