19 Para Kay Lirio*: Kung Pa'no I-Circuit Bend ang Pormang Villanelle

Tugon, ang Ingay: bukang liwayway.

matulog ka gabi, sumiping sa katahimikan—

ang ugong, ang sigaw— ay ‘di mamamatay.

Idilat ang tenga sa awit ng static,

tumurok sa tiyempo, sibat ng kawasakan—

tugon, ang Ingay: bukang liwayway.

Pakinggang mabuti: awit ng kable,

malalim ang tulang bigkas ng tugtugan—

ang ugong, ang sigaw— ay ‘di mamamatay.

Lagitgit ng bakal, hiyaw ng Sandata,

tagumpay ng sining, sining na lumalaban—

tugon, ang Ingay: bukang liwayway.

Uyayi ng mulat: kulog,

awit: trahedya sa sumpang kababawan—

ang ugong, ang sigaw— ay ‘di mamamatay.

Sa pag-idlip, gising mga Sandata,

Dagundong, bantay: Sandatahan—

Tugon, ang Ingay: bukang liwayway.

ang ugong, ang sigaw— ay ‘di mamamatay!

* for Lirio Salvador of ELEMENTO

SANDIGmaan. (One World/ One ♥ para kay Lirio!)
-SANDATA AKO NI LIRIO -JK

Paper Monster Press's 7th issue is a tribute, a dialogue, an ekphrasis of Lirio Salvador, his words and his works.

More than this though is his indefatigable energy to work, to share his thoughts, to move in the infinity that is the universe, and stand as one; not alone, but at one with the universe.

Lirio often says: "Love one another". "All is well." "All will be well". And it is this energy, this spirit, that we wish to bring to the 7th issue. SANDIGAN TAYO NI LIRIO.

Dealing with the theme: SANDIGmaan accepts works inspired by and/or written/produced for Lirio Salvador. His SANDATAS, the music of Elemento, and before that Intermidya, the organic unity that comes with fusing sound and sculpture into one Dali-like, almost surreal vision. The cosmic cannibalism spoken of by Dali, comes alive in Lirio's works. Everything is surreal, and real, because actualized.

Having said that, how you interpret, move with, or antagonize the theme is up to you.

1. Submit up to 3 literary works (poetry, flash fiction, essay) in English/ Filipino. Submissions must not exceed 500 words.
2. Submit up to 3 artworks (paintings, photographs, sculptures, collages, etc.) in JPEG or PDF format. Submissions may be colored and/or black/white.
3. Submit up to 3 sound pieces in MP3 or Wav format.
4. All submissions should be sent to papermonsterpress@yahoo.com.
5. The deadline for submissions is on January 31, 2012.
