pacific terrace
a peacock and its chick
walk in for food
...

Maine Lobster Festival
we gawk at each other before
disassembling the lobsters
...

apsara, the first of them i saw
were trapped on the angkor wall
three hundred years of cold storage
with their blossoming bosom
...

Edison Cheng Bangsar shop opening
the peeping toms out
in droves
...

poetry in progress

he bids my forgiveness that
i have been used for his cause
...

Macao St Paul's Ruins
a page of
concrete history
...

Macao Sky Tower
my heart jumps as i open my feet
to look through the glass floor
...

streets with portuguese names
lead us to shops
with English names
...

Senado Square
still commanding our attention
the Portuguese
...

taking us to the
sky of entertainment
Cirque Du Soleil - Zaia!
