Ako ay aso

Been barking like a dog these last few days. I wish I could say that it was just to develop my abs (don't you agree that coughing builds your abdominal muscles, just very loudly?), but something's stuck in my tonsils. Could it be love? hehehe!


For J.W.D. from two weeks ago
(You may agree or disagree JWD)

You with your
Wistful smile
Rueful thoughts
And quiet dreams,

You seem to me now
More loveable, more reachable
More real.

Than when you knew all the answers to life’s questions.
talked quite a lot.
and laughed so boldly.

You’ve embraced the world
Plumbed your hidden depths.
And emerged anew.

No longer larger than life
But living.
