In My Love is Water, a house party is the stage for the melodrama of unrequited love. Danilo—bakla, schizophrenic, and heartbroken—stumbles and dances with a gaggle of Filipina nurses around an apartment filled with broken Tagalog, gay ghosts squeezed onto couches, and as many antipsychotics as party drugs. An examination of how race and disability shape our desire to care, this verse drama reckons with how to love when we are left with “dappled white everywhere / but never enough.”
