POETRY THROUGH THE ESSENCE OF BUDDHISM AND TAOISM

Blueberries By Jonel Abellanosa

 

I eat the color

Of the smallest fleeting

When my room’s dark violet

Breaks into blue, chewing

Slowly only a handful,

Pulping the painless,

Delighting in delicate

Orbs of sweet quiet,

Refusing to let the dawn go

Jonel Abellanosa lives in Cebu City, the Philippines.  His poetry is forthcoming in Windhover: A Journal of Christian Literature, Anglican Theological Review, the P.E.N.
