Sunday Mass

Sunday mass
the cry
of the baby

windy afternoon--
she kisses
a painting on the wall

Clearing Skies

New Cycle

new cycle--
her hand
reaching His shoulder

Johnson's Blue

please turn to me too
bee--
Johnson's blue

Offbeat

even the sound of the tide
in Libagon Bridge,
offbeat

gabunok ro uean--
gapinanilong man ro mga namok
sang batiis

rainy Sunday morning--
mosquitoes take shelter
on my legs

Cash

cash--
the wind comes
the wind goes without notice

Nanny

early morning shower--
Nanny looks at me
wherever I go

*Nanny is the name of a dog of a Japanese haiku poet, Etsuko.
