rainy afternoon—
egrets walk
in the football field

twitter of birds . . .
scent of sweet lime
as she peels the rind

no visitor this evening—
frogs croak in
the pond outside

bird droppings
on my T-shirt . . .
stars through the branches

uprooted tree . . .
two kids watch
in silence

sunday mass . . .
the keyboard teacher
in black and white

night rain . . .
a baby frog hops into
my lit room
