Paradigmatic Experience 

bleeding
my pallid thoughts
in a slow writhing ooze
carved along a totem pole a
Poem! 

Bond-Aged 

after
three centuries
the faithful carabao
still tight-tied in abaca chains …
restless!

 Peace Ticket  

a piece
of rolled paper
stuffed with rough-fine chopped leaves
abbreviates man’s earthly course …
to rest!

Preying A Prayer 

amidst
 nocturnal noise
a murmur pierces the lights
flickering red in suburbia …
restive!  

Ember In December

silhouettes
brushed against the
moonlit canvass backdrop
two hearts beating in communion …
marriage!
 

Pleasant Good-bye

the pain
of your nearness
melts into tenderness
as I touch, trace the sand for your ...
footprints!
