“how needless
is tenderness—
pencil lead on a grid of squares,
in envelope that goes unposted,
however quivering the script—”
even when i hold your letter in my hands,
i am not touching you
from hush harbor by mookie katigbak-lacuesta

we should really be advocating for more third places in metro manila that cost absolutely no money to hang out in. sometimes I want to go out and take a walk, or sit down and think or read or draw, but my only options are food establishments where I MUST pay to sit.
