Presenting LitOrgy 2: The Language of Love, Loss and Libido


Good day! I am inviting you to come to LitOrgy 2, a poetry reading event at Saless Bar, Cor. Sales- Monteverde st. Davao city. It's gonna be tomorrow, Feb 17, 2012 @ 8PM. Consider it your post Valentine's day date...with the words at the tip of your tongue.

Hope I can write a new piece at the span of 24 hours. Haha!

Front Desk


And it was just like that
Every morning
I was the first to notice
If her blush was uneven
If she wore her hair in a different way
If she looked too thin in
The shirt that she wears..
(She always smelled divine)

Then it was like that
Every afternoon
When she went to my desk
To smile briefly,
Just a polite gesture,
When she punches out
At our bundy clock 

And even when 
What I do is originally tedious:
Answer the phone
Greet the visitors
Give out our brochures
She was always something
To wake up for

Everyday
I watch her walk away
Breathlessly beautiful
And I look forward
To the next day---
Except when it’s Friday

(no TGIFs for me)

But I love my job
