dawn--
a strand of mother's hair
in the sky



each time
I open my eyes...
an abandoned house



morning prayer--
a purple orchid
bowed down

internet cafe--
another warrior
comes in



April night
scent of jasmin fills
an empty mind

Easter Sunday--
here comes the caretaker
of graves

saturday moon
making lenten palms
on the sidewalk



holy wednesday
a cricket chants
the Passion




Singing or chanting the pasyon, which are metered verses on the life and Passion of Christ, is a tradition being practiced by Filipino Catholics during the Holy Week.

Sunken Garden--
the sun scatters itself
over the grass



Sunken Garden, located at the University of the Philippines complex, is where I do tai chi and qi gong.
