TRANSITION

By Dr Carmelo Bautista III

As the old adage says, “Nothing is permanent in this world except change.”

A striking proverb that has shifted my perspective from being encased in the four walls of the wards to the wide and challenging world of the frontlines.

Everyday will be dynamic and different…

Marami pang pagdadaanan…

Malayo pa pero malayo na.

OPD

By Dr. JB Besa

Tambak na papel sa mesa

Hindi alam saan magsisimula

Uunahin ba si lola na alas-kwatro pa nakapila?

O papakalmahin ang nag-aalborotong sikmura?

Alaala ng kagabi’y hindi pa umaalpas

May pagdanak, panaghoy, pagtangis

Paano naman tutugon sa iyak ng nasa harapan?

Gusto ko na matapos at umalis

Marahil kulang sa tulog

Kinapos din siguro ng tulong

2AM

By Dr. Katherine Pesalbo

The dark seems abysmal.

The wind brings about a chill that seeps deep in the bones. 2 am, always hit like either you're on top of the world or under it.

Tonight's latter.

There's no such thing as 'being immune' to this feeling, to this disease.

This is probably a curse to being a physician at these times. Feeling too much, seeing too much -death.

Maybe there's hope, maybe there's life -come by morning.

CHAIR

By Dr Shiela Campomanes

Your favorite chair

in front of the television

has remained empty ever since.

I wish I could still

see You sitting there.

Doesn’t matter if we

won’t chat.

As long as

You’re sitting

on your chair,

enjoying the shows

You love to watch.

I just want to see,

You again,

be with,

You again,

Papa.
