Funeral|Random sh_t
Looking back
on the moments we had,
all I see now are dead things
and broken people.
I thought they were beautiful,

until they were picked
and were laid on gravestones.
HERE LIES

It's Been Raining in Manila|Random sh_t

May 17
It's Been Raining in Manila|Random sh_t
it finally
RAINED
in
MANILA
the thunderclaps were orchestral
the water splats, a van Gogh
against red tail lights
and windows
and people held their breath
as the first drops of relief
hit their skins
like
a
lover's
kiss
sweet
like
cherries
long before you knew
how they taste
long
like the line
I trace
with
my
fingers
in the small of your back
warm
like your breath
on
my
neck
just before you wake up
just
before
we
do it
again
