Looks and Landscapes
by Thelma F. Reymundo-Juarez
#1
coming from behind,
smells pungent and fragrant…
tastes sweet and bitter
race to the front lines.
ah, memories may be buried but not dead.
#2
Words are like dresses …
Having tried or used them, one learns
whether the outfit was apt for the occasion or the season, or in agreement
with one’s internal landscape. hopefully.

presently, a past
dominant until today
seems behind –
under the gentle rays
of the morning sun,
birds tweet new melodies.
#4
..a tear dropping
after rising from within;
…a breath inhaled and
exhaled;
…an autumn, a spring, a winter and a summer – riding in the winds-
…am i too.
