Kandila

Ako’y isang gamu-gamung nabihag ng iyong sinag

Lumalapit, lumilipad , pumipikit, pumipintig.

At bawat buto ko’y nanginginig at tila di mapigilan

Hinihiling lamang na di matupok ng iyong liyab.

Turn on the mimeograph

I recall the time it never rained,
not a single pour on my teacup.
21st of January, 2009,
under a small sturdy Nipa hut,
we were talking about our future,
constellations and voodoo dolls.
Lust, cochlea, paradigms, Jesus,
Bumble bees, cataracts and silent farts.

Now three years after, here we are,
lying on our death beds wishing we could turn back time
and just turn on the mimeograph..

Duplicate our lives for back up.

"

I tie a yellow ribbon around the loose grip
As I see you slowly drifting farther than my reach
No more pocketful of wedding.

It’s time for you to sing.

Friends and foes

All but fools

Trying to salve

Their hidden wounds

I am here, oh so inlove

But I just don’t know what to do.

November mood, november mood.

Something I can never tell

It’s an hour past midnight and

I’m stuck to what have been my past

visions flicker and sting like bees,

voices i’ve heard before kept knocking on my ear

And as I try to fight the urge to give in

to give in to the horrors of my past

the dampness of the earth suddenly tickled my feet

that gives me a bit of sensation.

When is the right time to let go?

For what reason?

Why?

Boogers and phlegms

No, no, no..

Don’t cough it all out

Spare some for next year

Summer’s just around the block

That’ll make flu run with fear

No, no, no..
