Granted
October 22, 2014 at 10:24 am There was once a girl I liked so much–She has this short hair almost her shoulder-level. She’s petite and with curves, no one dares to ask her preference. She would sing songs I’ve never heard of. She would speak Greek to me–mature in a depth I found hard to swim into. She…

FF: Kahel
October 28, 2014 at 2:26pm Bahagya pa’y niyakap niya ang kanyang ina. “Tahan na po, inay.” Ni hindi magawang umimik ng kanyang ina. “Anak…ano’ng gagawin natin?” “Hayaan ninyo na lamang po inay…” At muli pa’y niyakap niya nang ubod ng higpit ang kanyang ina. Tumayo siya. Tumalikod. Hindi na siya muling lumingon. Wala nang ibang…

FF: Pull it out, please
October 28, 2014 at 2:27pm She handed the money. She was a bit doubtful. Mely, on the other hand, gratefully received the 20- piece thousand bills. “Are you afraid?” She could barely answer. “Don’t be.” It was a moment of truth for Clarissa, but at the same time, lie. Mely took a long rod from…

Come home…
January 28, 2015 at 3:06pm She tosses and turns. Check the clock. “It’s 5.” It has been 4 years, 7 months and days since she last shed the tears she ought not to. Maybe it’s long enough to contain a volcano from erupting. Long enough to learn a language. Long enough to finish a degree. But short…

come back
December 3, 2014 at 12:22pm “Oh wait!” I barely whispered. I could not force her to stay, yet I never wanted her to leave. There was no single response. The word from her mouth ceased from flowing. Worse than a field under drought. I could’ve given an explanation of why and how and what. But that…

Color Catastrophe
July 3, 2014 at 11:32am She found love at a time when she barely knew ABC. She was a typical school girl wearing a tucked blouse shielded by a suspender clinging to her skirt. She doesn’t recognize any familiar face she saw a year ago upon starting grade school. She only knows that her mom…

Cease the Moment
September 9, 2014 at 9:34am It lies between the blink of an eye and one count of my breath. It is somewhere along the ‘lub’ in my heartbeat, or maybe, just maybe it’s in the second I grit my teeth because brackets are causing them unbearable pang that I cringe. Or maybe worse than that,…

Beyb, you are enough.
September 22, 2014 at 9:14am It was a figure I saw from afar. Despite the distance, I was more than sure it was you. It’s the same petite body I knew since I was 14. The same young girl-like that I talked to one cold night of August in 2013. Maybe I really know you…

Attracting Sappho
August 27, 2014 at 6:47pm It was at that time she was dating the popular Eugin. I can always see their palms fixed with each others’. He touches her waist, and she does not resist. I wonder. Days and days by our backyard that they put their hands and lips and bodies together. Until one…
