Those sunflowers bring resonance:
your voice, March, pine trees...
Once, dandelion wishes
floated in the air...
A thousand
cherry blossom petals...
My heart prickles in pain
remembering how lonely...
Reveries are too sad to hide beneath your skies,
melancholies are too fragile to hear your cries...
I find it unusual
to be reading recipe books...
Empty hallways,
ghosts on a wine cellar...
Midway the slope
where two clandestine faults seem to collide...
You've forgotten all about me --
windmills and cornfields in between...
And here I am again
getting up from bed...
If I bury my poetry
underneath Manila skies...
Chrysanthemums paint
as onyx skies softly weep...
