Oh, this is a clockwork life
Amid which I thrive
Everyday is mundane
Everyday I grow a little insane
I'm just the average clockwork mind
No honour, no fame
No alias, no name
Just a mere speck of dust
In this vast universe
The clockwork life I lead
It's the same everyday
Nothing ever goes out of the way
The repetitiveness of activities
No misadventures, no camaraderies
The clockwork life I hate
I know I'll die a clockwork death.
Louise 6d
Si quieres volver a hablar conmigo,
tengo las puertas abiertas de par en par.
Ya te lo dije, eres más que bienvenido,
incluso puedes usar mis chanclas.

Si quieres discutir conmigo otra vez,
lucha conmigo en un duelo cara a cara.
No me has dicho lo que sientes,
pero te estás enamorando poco a poco.

Si tienes algo que decir,
háblalo como un adulto, ven a mi entresuelo.
No tengo que decirte qué hacer,
pero ven aquí y te diré que eres mi sueño.

Si tienes algo que quieras hacer,
enfréntate a mí, o enfrenta tus miedos primero.
Y no tienes que decirme qué decir,
puedo decírtelo en siete idiomas, mi amor.
After "I want to stop thinking about you, because you're already at my door" from 'Souvenirs' (Mouth of a Manileña)
in the mountain. Take a step and
ascend. Place faith in yourself
and plan your next direction. Pause
and rest, to get your bearings. Success

is in all the little steps. Glimpse
at the summit. But set your eyes
on the path ahead. When you’re
in the middle of the climb,

a quick look up and not behind
reminds you of the prize. It's where
your future lies. Take a deep breath of
the cool, clean mountain air. It’s crisp

as maple bacon and will move
you through the blinding glare. The next
foothold is only inches away. But you
will not find if you stray.
I didn't see clearly
as to the scene I was
too close-- I went away
and upon that did I find clarity

the self that's too fixated
little room does it leave
for discovery--with unlearning only
will appear the intuitive gift
Autumn floats through air—

The sun grows milder with days,

The wind brings a chill.
