magaling gumawa ng suman ang lola ko.
random shuffling of my hair
pinching my arms
calloused hands
ventolin inhaler
imported candies perpetually displayed in locked glass cabinets
kumusta ka na, ilang taon ka na (repeat everytime we meet)
linoleum covered makeshift dining table
knowing and glowing eyes behind thick glasses
inch-thick drinking glass
checking if the towel on my back is soaked wet
laughing while speaking in Ilocano
imported chocolates to be handed to me right before we leave for Manila
coughing while laughing
laughing while coughing
hi lola,
save us a good spot in Aslan's land.
we'll miss you.
regards to lolo.
