6:31AM - Skin Stars

She was always quiet

With glistening eyes

And a trace of smirk

On her lips

She had stars on her skin

I can trace constellations,

Galaxies, and wishes falling

On her skin

1:51 AM - REPEAT, REPEAT

flying 20 flights
inhaling that plastic bag air
soaking in your own filth in a tub
wearing that ill fitting necklace
counting until you can't
tearing until you can't
wondering why
no one tries
but you always knew
always knew
how this ends
regardless
just you
in darkness.

Kausap ko ang buwan ng 5:34am.
Sa totoo lang.
Kanina pa niya ako sinusundan.
Marami ako gustong itanong.
Bakit.
Paano.
Kaso kitang kita rin naman
Na hindi niya alam ang isasagot.
Hinatid ako ng buwan pauwi.
Kasama ko pa rin siya sa paglalakad.
Habang sa pagtawid, dumikit sa akin ang malakas na tunog,
"Ganito lang pala kabilis mamatay"
Tanong ko sa buwan
"Hindi pa ngayon"
Sagot ng buwan
At bumalik kami sa paglalakad pauwi.
