yesterday you want me to eat
all the foods in your fridge,
because you said
they'll make me stronger.

because you said
they'll make me smart just as you are.

you want your calories to seep through me,
isn't it?
and your blood to mix with mine.

But I hated all the foods in your fridge
they aren't healthy
they are processed, fake nutition
yellow painted on bananas
red painted on apples.
Just as you want me to be healthy
even if I'm not.

I never ate since yesterday,

that's why I'm still skinny.

Sa sikip at kakapalan
ng iniwang usok,
mga langgam ay
di magkamayaw dito
sa kahabaan ng pila.
Hibik nang hibik nang
pumasok sa kaliwa
at sa kanan ng ika'y
nagaabang at tulala.

Tanda mo ba nang
dito'y nagkabungguan,
nakipagtitigan,
at nagtawanan sa
kawalan ng
ating kalikuran?

Sa hirap ng buhay
sinabi mo ang
iyong naranasan
at nangakong
hindi malilimutan ang
dating pinaggalinan.

Sa paglipas ng
apat na buwan
kahit bulong ay
hindi naaninag.
At ako'y nalinlang
sa pangakong
hinayaan mo na
dito'y matapaktapakan.

What is it?
I'm confused
it seems colorless
but colorful-
prodigious.
it felt dissonance
but cheerful.

I didn't know Ecstasy,
until I met you.

...
Uncanny dreams
of mysterious faces,
loud voices,
between my sheets.
undefined growls
cries on buthubs
red stains on water.

I can't choose
between sunlit
and moonlit.

Kawawang syudad
puno ng gintong konkreto
di magkandaugaga
mga desperadong mata.

Kawawang syudad
may mga mamahaling mesa
di magkandaugaga
mga desperadong bunganga.

Keep walking

You wish your'e pale
or maybe pinkish
perhaps sun-kissed
or maybe olive.

But you we're born tint
divergent skin
arrows in all degrees
neurons were scattered
in all different fields.

Your'e more than a sheep
and we can all bees
I pollinate everything
from black to white
saturated to fade
and you should wander
through different colors
and you just might know
you're more to your skin.
