princess of the stars
water-shocked stars,
pesticide tides,
bodies that float,
like paper boats,
buoyed by prayers,
bloated by tears,
they weep,
they curse,
they pray,
they drown,
a ship, a crown,
a princess of the stars.

My friends call me Toots. Am the youngest of seven siblings. Our family hails from the coastal town of Hagonoy, Bulacan and we are proud of our roots. My daughter's name is Estelle and she's a brilliant debater/person. I love dogs! And I enjoy writing in the dead of the night.
