La Crème de la Kem
Inspired by the idioms, la crème de la crème and the cream of the crop, I incorporated them into my poetry as a way to convey the popularity of flan. Both of these idioms are used to describe something as being the best. This beloved European dessert became known in many countries around the world due to colonization. While the history of flan is not so sweet, its creamy caramel flavour won over many sweet tooths across Southeast Asia.

Psychic
You asked me about my dreams. My dreams are the Aether a telephone exchange for the dead,and I am the operator, the unquestioning believerat least, that’s what they expect. I speak the All-Language – twice blessedto a headache an afterlife long. Did you know that spirits’ voices are wordless?They speak in drawn out sighs, like whale song.
