In my bedroom, I want to bring a man with old boxers
and new ideas about: spirits above the bus roof, anteaters which used to walk Palawan.
I want to bring him in and his childhood nostalgia, his favorite stuffed toy
which he rubbed on the ear for him to fall asleep. I want to bring him in:
down on my skin, smelling the anxiety, the saltiness, the beauty, the lies and
the scent of sweat like vapor of something lost and redeemed.
He’d be surprised of how I managed to keep old snail mails, a few cobwebs,
smell of wine on the pillow and some crumbs of slumber on my nape.
In my bedroom, I want to stand beside the wide-open windows with a man
that has half-closed eyes, like perfect eyebrows shielding the eyes from
everything that associates fear, discourage and dirty politics.
I want him in, tell him about how my mother never slept on my bed
since I started to write scribbles and how sometimes, I feel like architecture
and crumbling meant the same when I turn the lamp off and create a burrow
that transports me to the ideal world where half of the earth are poets and
half are hungry winged beasts.
In my bedroom, we’ll just lie lazy like two bodies in an open highway,
talking not facing each other, and anytime soon the laws of gravity
will just crack out of ripeness
we will kiss without thinking about the toothbrushes standing beside
the glasses near the kitchen sink.

so what i’ve been up to as a person? i work daily as a content writer/ESL teacher/remote secretary with flexy schedule (no complaints at all!). morning walks to the beach with someone else who can get up early.skimboarding with sister and Clem. biking and daydreaming. island hops (Agho, Bantayan and Siquijor soon!).very part-time waitress at my parents’ eatery. cheerleader to my siblings who are now growing as eccentric tiny people. most of the time, i’m just laughing, meditating, sharing a drink and conversations with a friend or a stranger or reading weird stuffs that the internet could provide.

i believe i am a better person now. i believe it may sound self-righteous though.
