resetas*

cut out the dead herb growing spirals inside your chest
inside the sour plum, find a seed with the initials of god

see how the mouth hungers for the unwritten century
collect, if you can, the honey left by ants on the road

in the morning, run and unfasten the gate to the sea
keep the first feather that brushes against your throat

with the second, make a tincture of eucalyptus and gin
don't join the crows in heated discussion of headstones  

* prescriptions; Tagalog
