Casamiento
(Ken Lydia ken Max, iti kasamientoda iti nagan ni ayat)
Apagisu a gatad ti panaguray, daytoy nga ayat.
Siglosiglo a panagbirbriok iti maysa ken maysa
Tapno ipateg no ania ti ayat
Iti nagbaetan ti leddaang ken leddaang
Ken sabali pay.
Ngem ita, dagiti pakasaritaan
Ibugasanda ti no ania
Ti ukarkaran ti balikas,
Isu met laeng a rinugianyon
Nga inaramat tapno nagananyo
Ti ray-aw nga inkayon
Nasarakan.
Ti panaglangan ti maysa ken maysa
A mangsagsagid iti kaadda
Ti maysa ken maysa
Ket ita, addakayo, agayan-ayat,
Maysa ti ipatpateg, ken kasta met
Ti sabali!
Dimtengen ti aldaw,
Ket ita daytoy.
Ita nga oras ti rugi ti Agnanayon
Ket tagikukuayo ti Panawen,
Maysa ken maysa ti kayatmi,
Daytoy a panangidaton
Iti bagi
Ken espiritu, ken kararua
Daytoy a sagut nga Amin-nagan
Ken awanan-nagan
Kas iti rabii nga agpasngay
Tapno umay ti parbangon,
Sa ti rabii maminsan pay.
Iti parbangon
Di makaidna.
Panaginana.
Pannakaila.
Pannakarnek.
Panagbirbirok.
Pannakabirok.
Amin dagitoy iti naganyon ita,
Dua a tao a tinanikalaan
Dagiti espasio a di agpatingga.

Casamiento
(For Lydia and Max, on their wedding in the name of love)
It was worth the wait, this loving.
Centuries of seeking for each other
To love what love is
Between grief and one more.
But today, histories define
What can be unravelled by word,
The same ones you have begun
To use to name what joy
You have finally found.
Each other's absence reaching out
To each other's presence
And here you are, lovers,
One beloved and another so!
The day has come, and it is today.
Eternity begins at this hour
And it is your Time, one in the other
We want, this gift of body
And spirit and soul, this gift
All-name and nameless
Like evening birthing so dawn
Comes, and then the evening
One more time. It is restless.
It is rest.
It is longing.
It is satisfaction.
It is seeking.
It is finding.
All these are in your name now,
Two people bound by
Spaces going beyond.
