ang lipad ay awit sa apat na hangin / flight is song on four winds (bilingual poetry collection)

	Institute of Women’s Studies St. Scholastica’s College Manila, 1991, 1990
	Forty poems, perhaps for singing with the wind — in Pilipino and English, Merlinda Bobis sings from falling in love to the social and political exigencies of her times.
Mula Sa Selda Nuwebe hindi hubad ngayong gabi itong pader na itim. nagbihis bigla ng munting bituin, nang butasin ng iyong titig ang lamig ng kongkreto— sige, kukuskusin ko ng mata ang siwang na para bang amuleto, bukas, bukas, mahuhusto dito ang humuhulagpos tang mundo.		From Cell Nine it is not bare tonight, this black wall. it suddenly wore a tiny star, when you stared a hole on the cold concrete— all right, i shall rub the crack with the eye as if it were some amulet. tomorrow, tomorrow, our world struggling to be free will pull through here.
