The Little You Can KnowWithout form and void,
The world gave a lunatic gaze.
Lack of luminous light love bought,
Darkness did give her a chase.

Water beneath and air above.

Reason Without Rhyme

UndifferenceIndifference, if neutral,
is not hostile or inviting.
Indifference of nature,
like indifferent sages,
need not favor warriors detached from winning health

Quiet Down the Mountain - Dogging the WatchThe morning sun’s oppressive; a nasty b*tch in heat on Rizal Avenue,
Where vendors hawk their cigarettes, baloot, and dog meat barbecue.

But it’s quiet down the mountain once...

The ocean has
To roll out over me
Is never unwasted,
And it finds my raw, used...

Peeping through human infrastructures.

The Certain Face—Oh, it’s a terrible thing to see—
Look; the face,
that ugly face reflected in a broken mirror.

Young and old
Keeping idle chatter
Above the noise of squirming, squealing babies...

Popcorn and soda pop pacifiers.

The hour,10 a.m.
