Marites C. Cayetano Poems

two cups
minus one

two toothbrushes
...

A glass of wine
becomes two
and becomes three...
...

I want to take pictures
of this magnolia tree
and I am standing
here and there
...

Doon sa munting dampa
sa gitna ng mga puno ng bayabas
nakatira ang isang matandang
walang makapagsabi
...

Midnight
time passing by
leaving me thinking
of what to do
...

Ay! tama ka
ako ay isang mandirigma
ngunit ang sandata ko
ay hindi baril o patalim
...

In the middle
of your sufferings
remember Jesus
before he died
...

Oh, tiny bloom
in the garden not tended
wait
untill the girl picks you up
...
