poetry

Painting of a family seated for a birthday party, a man stands behind a seated woman and a child is about to blow out their birthday candles
On the eve of my youngest child’s first birthday
Still life etching of three bowls
A RADICALLY CONDENSED HISTORY OF POSTCOLONIAL FILIPINO-AMERICAN LIFE
Realistic oil painting of two candles against a black and grey background
Soft Address to the Bottleneck: in Stillpoint (Cranial Sacral Session) Two
Painting of a foggy lake with a dozen mermaids in the water, some brushing their hair
The Unpretty
Painting of a snow capped mountain
That Massif In The Room
Painting of a body of water at night with the moon reflected in its ripples
Reflections On A Clear Night
Painting of three ube buns stacked and wrapped in a clear plastic bag
In The Belly Of Cebu City
Painting of a female figure seated on some rocks looking out to sea
A Sacred Moment
painting of a derelict cemetery covered in snow a church is visible in the distance
Driving through a Cemetery in a Town You Just Moved To
Pencil sketch of a bed with rumpled sheets
Mo(u)rning Rites
