kwarto

by ~kLiT-sHy

In my bedroom, I want to bring a man with old boxers
and new ideas about: spirits above the bus roof, anteaters which used to walk Palawan.
I want to bring him in and his childhood nostalgia, his favorite stuffed toy
which he rubbed on the ear for him to fall asleep. I want to bring him in:
down on my skin, smelling the anxiety, the saltiness, the beauty, the lies and
the scent of sweat like vapor of something lost and redeemed.
He'd be surprised of how I managed to keep old snail mails, a few cobwebs,
smell of wine on the pillow and some crumbs of slumber on my nape.
In my bedroom, I want to stand beside the wide-open windows with a man
that has half-closed eyes, like perfect eyebrows shielding the eyes from
everything that associates fear, discourage and dirty politics.
I want him in, tell him about how my mother never slept on my bed
since I started to write scribbles and how sometimes, I feel like architecture
and crumbling meant the same when I turn the lamp off and create a burrow
that transports me to the ideal world where half of the earth are poets and
half are hungry winged beasts.
In my bedroom, we'll just lie lazy like two bodies in an open highway,


talking not facing each other, and anytime soon the laws of gravity
will just crack out of ripeness

we will kiss without thinking about the toothbrushes standing beside
the glasses near the kitchen sink.

what would you do if a poem you wrote sometime ago breathes life and makes you ask,

"what have i done great to deserve this magic?"

as i was reading this, a song from the friday night lights soundtrack was playing and it made the whole poem seem incredibly sad. but i do not think it was meant to be. wonderful.

i never had such a vision of a woman. this is damn fine writing and well deserving of a dailydev, unlike much of the crap that gets posted, everyone should read this. brilliant, true, honest and full. sorry i didnt get to it sooner.
