Philippines II

there’s a folk tale in this town.
it says pointing at trees will call the spirits
they’ll make your balls swell until you can no longer walk
Steph says “bit your finger if you point at trees.”
i jokingly say i’ll have no hands left soon

i know there is arrogance in me still
something disrespectfully unpure
i swear – im trying to drain me dry
become empty
malleable
