27-Nerisa del Carmen Guevara
And by the time I reach 80
I would have fallen in love with
An entire city.
All the people on the streets
Would follow me down with
A knowing.
All hate gone. All sorrow.
The word absence would not
make sense.
The dinosaurs are still underground;
All the species the eco-warriors were not able to save

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission
She says days go by I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Sunny came home with a list of names
She didn't believe in transcendence
It's time for a few small repairs she said

I ask you to be attentive to this, meaning I want your body,
to keeps its ears close against the beating of the landscape,
against the darkness that encircles us like fugitives.
Because only then can I make a narrative of this encounter:
you talking softly to me explaining some formalities we enter
as an agreement to our already decided solitude, your arms

it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
too long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
And oh darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place

and sleepy still
i unwrapped you
of the morning
like carefuil fruit
with forbidden flesh
made sweeter by
the scorning
my hands still shaky
from the kisses sweet
and the dark hours
of nights embrace
i checked to see
if fastened vines
my heart had left
in silv'ry trace
while you slept
i looked inside your chest
to see what there
was growing
i saw my heart
with quiet eyes

Di mo lang alam, sa gitna ng kadilimang di mapakali, ako'y nabighani
Di mo lang alam, inaasam, ang panahong makapiling ka sa unat huling pagkakataon
Dahil dito sa mariposa, ay mahirap ang nag-iisa
Dahil dito sa mariposa, ako lang ata ang nagiisa
Nagsisising matatapos ang gabing alam naman nating meron nang taning

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep."
- pablo neruda
happy third year anniversary:D
