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.

"Gathering hues of blue
incinerating my memories of you
ashes from sun, love lost then gone."

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.

Worlds Apart
She’s bearing your son and I bear the pain of yours and mine.

Enter my Asian kung-fu
The sound from the television’s drowned by the honks of the japanese cars
swerving on the rough and bumpy road of Divisoria.
The streets are packed with black crows waiting for their turns to eat the
botcha meat.
I can see their eyes blurred by the city lights and colored by the smog
GRAY
was the name of my lover way back 1800s.
He was tall and copper toned with lips that are moist and puffy.
Oh God, how I missed him and those days when dense forests of narra covered
most of Northern Caloocan, the air’s full and virgin and the fruits are real not
PLASTIC
little piggy bank, dancing nervously on my office desk.
Waiting for the clock to turn 10am so it can go outside and have a smoke.
The coins make tingling noise and the dust are settled inside his
transparent body case.
Shaking. Lust. Cold.
