 insomnia—

   unfinished haiku

      in the head

—Federico C. Peralta

dawn flowers—

the changing scent of

     grandpa's tea

—Federico C. Peralta

Federico C. Peralta

 still noon sky—

   rhythmic tap tap 

      a walking stick

—Federico C. Peralta

in my silent room

devoid of your warm presence

I remember you...

long-stemmed rose in the vase

sharing my deep solitude 

—Federico C. Peralta

Federico C. Peralta

voting day—

discourses of birds

in every tree

—Federico C. Peralta

Federico C. Peralta

border check—

   monarch overtakes

      a long queue
