Salin ng "Mushroom" ni Sylvia Plath

Kabu-Kabute
Sylvia Plath


Magdamagan, napaka-
Puti, hindi pansinin.
Napaka-mapangdili.

Tintinan, ilong nami'y
Kumakapit sa lupa.
Umaangkin sa hangin.

Walang sasaksi sa'min,
Pipigil o tataksil;
Bubutil, nagsi-usog.

Kuom-palad pilit ay
Bumatak ng karayom,
Ng madahong higaan,

Pati na ng aspalto.
Martilyo, maso namin,
'Alang tenga ni mata,

Puspusang walang tinig,
Mga biyak bubuksan,
Butas, suongin. Kami'y

Nagt�t�sa ng tubig,
Ng mumo ng anino.
Mahinahon, hiling ay

Kakarampot o wala.
Napakarami namin!
Napakarami namin!

Kami'y tokador, kami'y
Lamesa, kami'y dukmo
Kami ay makakain.

Mang-udyok, mang-tulak,
Maski na ano kami,
Kami ay dumarami.

'Pag umaga na, aming
Mamanahin ang mundo.
Paa nami'y sa bungad.

Real Beauty

What Makes You Luminous?

My Result: Beauty

Sure you're a stunner, but it's your kind heart that makes you a real beauty. Thoughtful and sincere, you connect easily with people and enjoy being around others. At parties, you like to work the room and make sure everyone is having a good time.

Strike up conversations with strangers? No problem. Show your new coworker great lunch spots? Of course! These are the kinds of things a sweetheart like you does without thinking. And your friendly spirit is what people find so enticing and gorgeous about you. That's beautiful!
