The Storyteller
Santiago Villafania
they disappeared one after the other
like epiphytic plants that once cupped
the breasts of our virgin forests
the muses left their sun-flowered brae
when they heard no more the stories
and the brown songs of Caboloan
the rice fields turned from green into gray
without laughter without poetry
not even a day of remembrance
they went away into silence
leaving their random biographies behind
unsigned in the province of our minds
now they are still forgotten
until we learn how to remember
and reclaim what is ours to reclaim
their place in the history of the living ------------------------------------------ ÓÇäÊíÇÛæ ÝíáÇÝÇäíÇ (1971 - ) åæ ÔÇÚÑ ÝáÈíäí ãÚÇÕÑ íßÊÈ ÇáÔÚÑ ÈÇááÛÉ ÇáÇäÌáíÒíÉ ÈÇáÅÖÇÝÉ Åáì áÛÊå ÇáÃã ÇáÈÇäÛÇÓíäÇäíÉ¡ ÇáÊí åí æÇÍÏÉ ãä ÇááÛÇÊ ÇáÝáÈíäíÉ ÇáÇËäí ÚÔÑÉ. æÞÏ ÕÏÑÊ áå ÚÏÉ ßÊÈ æÏæÇæíä ÔÚÑíÉ ãä ÈíäåÇ "ÇáÍÈíÈÉ æÞÕÇÆÏ ÃÎÑì" (2005)¡ "ÃÕæÇÊ ãä ßÇÈæáæä" (2005)¡ æ "ÓæäÇÊÇÊ ãä ãÇáÇÛáíæä" (2007). æÇáÔÇÚÑ ÝíáÇÝÇäíÇ åæ ãä ÃÏÈÇÁ ÃÞáíã ÈÇäÛÇÓíää ÇáÈÇÑÒíä¡ æÞÏ ÝÇÒ ÈÚÏÏ ãä ÇáÌæÇÆÒ ßÇä ÃÈÑÒåÇ ÌÇÆÒÉ "ÃÓäÇ" ááËÞÇÝÉ æÇáÝäæä áÚÇã 2010. æÞÏ ÚÑÝ Úä ÇáÔÇÚÑ ÝíáÇÝÇäíÇ ÇåÊãÇãå ÈÅÍíÇÁ æÊÑÓíÎ ÇááÛÉ ÇáÈÇäÛÇÓíäÇäíÉ ßáÛÉ ÃÏÈíÉ.
