migrant worker -
asking the geese
for the way back home

 

      meditation
a rock dove inches
   closer to me

 

sacred grove -
trees braided together
with vines and prayers

 

rain upon rain-
mother's orchids
still facing skywards

 

deafening rain
              mother's call
asking if I have reached home

 

summer dawn-
a dab of sandal paste
on my fore-head

 

fire-walking pit -
the smile of a deity
from a neon billboard
