These are Mommy’s kamias trees,

as seen from the other bedroom window,

and sunlight the way it streamed

thirty minutes ago.

         When Mommy was still based in the Philippines, we feasted on her sinigang (thin soup based in lightly  sour vegetable broth), she just picked the kamias fruits outside the window to make the sinigang broth — she doesn’t use any of those powdered, chemical-based manufactured products.

      Mommy knows how to make a garden flourish and become bountiful on its own —-

      and to make all good, living things around her grow.

(still an at-the-moment series,  working exam sheets and  edits of thesis at home)
