frost moon

I stare at another

candy wrapper

waiting for a sugar high

to fill my emptiness

stardust

on New Year's eve . . .

our hope

shining even brighter

with every kiss

sunlight streaming

through the kitchen window . . .

as I wash the dishes

how you smile at me

is all I can imagine

Bowl of Fruits

        In the Philippines, Filipinos gather twelve round fruits on New Year's eve to attract prosperity and good fortune. Each fruit represents one fruit for each month of the year. When I was growing up, our family didn't practice this tradition every year, nor did I adopted this later on in life. However, every time I see a bowl of fruits, it reminds me of the many wishes one has for the new year.

bowl of fruits

a New Year's wish

in every bite
