#bobo
Their names are:
Katie, Bobo, Bear--
Max and Buddy,
Sushi and
Grafin Hegwig von Stubenrein*,
Hedy for short.
For 30 years, dachshunds, chihuahuas
and miniature schnauzers.
Chihuahuas are definitely
the undercover dogs,
but dachshunds will burrow too.
Hedy and Buddy at the foot
of the bed, cross- and lengthwise.
Bobo too, but anywise.
Sushi and Max like it
when we sleep on our sides--
preferring the crooks of the knees.
Katie was an armpit dog.
Dogs are mobile and in a pinch
do double duty as a heating pad--
but a cold nose on bare skin
is welcome in the heat of the summer.
Night or nap, the company is welcome--
Did we rescue them or did they rescue us?

Blind man walking - heals through touch,
Carries coconut oil in an old jam jar,
Trusts in the magic which guides his hands,
To carry his dusty feet home.

Hay nalang pag-ibig,
Kailangan pa ba ng taga-usig?
Pero sana hindi na,
Sana maintindihan ko 'to nang mag-isa.
Hetong salita na ito, oo,
Talagang sakit sa ulo,
Sinasabing ito daw ako,
Ha? seryoso ka? ako? inlababo?
Di ko maintindihan,
Google aking kinailangan,
Buti nalang hawak nya ang kasagutan,
Kasagutang gumimbal sa aking katauhan.
"In love" ang nasabing kahulugan,
Diyos ko po, ako'y inyong tigil-tigilan,
Nahihibang na yata kayo aking mga kaibigan,
Pero sa katotohanan di ko rin alam ang katotohanan.
Kaya tinanong ko ang aking sarili,
Tinanong nang walang pagaatubili,
Tinanong kung ako nga ba'y umiibig na,
Umiibig sa dilag na sa aki'y minsang nagpasaya.
Sarili ko, bigyan mo ako ng kasagutan,
"Oo" o "hindi" lang naman yan,
Ganyan lang naman ka simple,
Subalit di ko parin masabi.
Dahil di ko maamin,
Di ko kayang sabihin,
Di ko kayang tanggapin,
Ikaw nga siguro'y iniibig ko na, iyo sanang ipagpaumanhin.
