MONOBON by SKYE IBARRA

 Monobon by Skye Ibarra

 

it’s just weird how

 

brewed coffee waterfalls in a sixteen ounce cup, still steaming outta machine. bees rest on a yellow daisy, pollinating. ice melts forming puddles and pools for ants. her mouth forms an 'o' on the beer bottle's opening. manila isn't just a city, it's where my memories pass by. the stars aren't for you because the skies own them. circles are just cornerless squares. pillows are just sponges for tears. with all that twists and turns, i'm just here to tell you that...


gloria diaz was behind me at buddha cafe ongpin during my mom's birthday.
