Sunday Lunch

Je’free

We tell ourselves to live a little
After a week of skipped breakfasts, and
Fasting an hour before the Holy Eucharist.
Coming to a democratic decision,
It is usually a toss between Chinese food —
Flat rice noodles and beef soaked in gravy,
With the crispy allure of fried squid,
Maybe salt and pepper pork chops;
Or, Filipino food — adobo or mechado -
To take us back to a Sunday in Manila.

When father was still alive,
We would have the luxury of time
To walk the beach, get some air and digest
Whatever greasy lunch we had after mass.
When he passed away, we would take time
To pray at his gravesite after feasting
On the luscious invite of savory sauces.
