gave her mother forty whacks,
when she saw what she had done,
gave her father forty-one,
she washed herself from a watered pail,
she claimed their lies and vicious tales,
she pled not guilty and moaned...

Impossible mission to sleep on opposite side of marital bed...

The Aswang
The wicked epitome of sin
Beautiful by day but a shapeshifting demon in...

Continuation

With ghouls, unlearned, no stone’s unturned
to burnish blame with Nun’s proud name

       in FRiar Small-Bro’s grave...yard.

While rumours spread amongst the dead,
Nun stays the...

Coming from the inside, a friendly rapping
It grew strong then weak, refreshed then weary
Sometimes ordinary, sometimes eerie
So I opened the door and looked inside
Looked past the smiles I've held...

Why does the heart get all the credit for love?
By so-called affairs of the heart,

Inside a boisterous tavern,
a-light with drunken gaiety
of spilled ribald laughter,
he quietly sits alone ...
gently cradling his mead darkly
Brooding thoughts of past paid coverings
buzzes inside his head
Talking flies having the faces of the dead
