BREAKTHROUGH

By Dr. Michelle Remiendo

Establishments and restaurants are closed.

Home kitchen became busy.

Learned gastronomic dishes through YouTube university.

Nothing to do, nowhere to go.

Pulled out stored yarns and threads.

Transformed the backyard into a garden of Eden.

The pandemic has helped us rekindle some of set aside skills

Some to ease the grief from lost colleagues.

INSOMNIA

By Dr. Rey Isidto

In this fever dream I lay

Bound to my bed all-day

Tears like pox filled rivers flow

From my pores to slake the earth below.

Oh, wanton sleep! Your sweet breath to chill

The heated frenzy that clothes my will.

Let me rest in your naked embrace,

My breath metered and still.
