Poem Collaboration 2019.10.09

This is a collaboration project between my Honduran homie Daniel Padilla and I. The idea is for him to practice more writing and for me to practice digital art. The series don't really have any direction as for now. If you'd like to do any sort of collaboration with me on this blog please don't hesitate to contact me!

Knocking

Hello
Would please open the door?
I just want to see you again.
Walk through that corridor again
Make my way into your room again
And bury myself in the sheets
Of your bed once more.
Wake up before you
Get ready to face the world
In the quiet darkness while you sleep
And kiss you on the cheek
And whisper
“I love you. Have a good day.”
And leave before you even noticed.





Knights

Listen
I didn’t want to leave
But buses drive away
And planes take off.
Now I resent these modes of transport
They were the vessels that brought upon
The most sour of goodbyes
In the history of the universe.




​
Family Heritage

I still don't quite know how
To be at peace with
The fact that
Everything in this universe
Is finite
One day
My last capable hair follicle
Will produce its final amount
Of melanin
One day
The last remaining star in space
Will fuse its final supply
Of hydrogen
And that will be
The end.

-D. Padilla
