misty afternoon
she takes a last look
at the leaving train |
white lilies bloom
near a makeshift cross
war-ravaged field |
summer heat
the swirling wind lifts
her flowing skirt |
among the dead
a baby,s milk bottle
manila bombings |
waiting room
the plastic flowers
still in bloom |
mother's day
my daughter brings her daughter
as a peace offering |
spring cleaning
she pauses to read
an old love letter |
morning rush
a full moon rests
on the traffic light |
hospice visit
he peers at his grandson,s face
and sees himself |
lover,s game
hunting for pussywillows
and each other |
