This poem describes the process of writing poetry. The poet starts with memories, even mundane or unpleasant ones, and lets their thoughts take shape as they flow onto the page. Connecting all the ideas is difficult, like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Through revising and refining, the poet works to craft their ideas into a cohesive trick, like a magic show. In the end, they may be surprised by the beauty or meaning revealed in their final work, represented by images like flowers or birds taking flight.

Sa poetry, you let things take shape, Para bang nagpapatulo ng isperma sa tubig, You start siyempre with memories, 'Yung medyo malagkit, kahit mais, Na mais: love lost, dead dreams, Rotten silences, and all Manner of mourning basta't murder.
Papatak 'yan sa papel, ano.
Parang pait, Kakagat ang typewriter keys. You sit up like the mother of anxieties. Worried na worried hanggang magsalakip Ang odds and ends ng inamag mong pag-ibig. Jigsaw puzzle. Kung minsan, everything fits. Pero sige ang pasada ng images Hanggang makuha perfectly ang trick. At parang amateur magician kang bilib Sa sleight-of-hand na pinapraktis: Nagsilid ng hangin sa buslo, dumukot, By golly, see what you've got - Bouquet of African daisies, Kabit-kabit na kerchief, Kung suwerte pa, a couple of pigeons, Huhulagpos, be-blend sa katernong horizon, You can't say na kung saan hahapon.
