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.

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
