john tiong chunghoo Poems

prambanan temples
so passionately the swallows sing
to the gods
...

without its head but
what an assuring buddha shoulder
to lay my hand for a wish!
...

borobudor
inspiring builders
storey after storey
stone upon stone
...

Indonesia
a treasure chest
of the East
...

travelling
i light up the caves
one by one
to see where i am
...

Rock Fort Temple
to the temple at top
two bald women
...

luxuriously petalled peonies soft
and warm like multi-layer skirts
ready for sultry flamenco dancers
and pom pom girls in the fields
...

Amityville Horror
the most terrifying
hoax
...
