Felicity Nong Poems

She like childhood sand
Giggles like perpetual tickles
My friend without confinement
Of time space or background.
...

They dig
With sweat beads
Of heavy piks
And broad shovels
...

First time I met you, all yellow and blue
You dared me to pronounce your name
All entangled with my tongue it fell out a mess;
the beginning had come.
...

I’ve been messed up
Not knowing where to begin
Or when the end was gonna come
...

I HIDE BEHIND ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
I HIDE BEHIND MY BEDROOM WALL
ALL WHITE AND SO THICK
I HIDE BEHIND MY RADIO, SO SMALL
...

Another blow
Flesh all splattered on the floor
my ears still carry the echo
my eyes red with unshed pain
...
