john tiong chunghoo Poems

dwarfing the
great treasures
malacca mega mall
...

the mom and dad
found a poison tree
did not realise
the land they are tilling
...

this body itself
is a brewer of
intoxication
...

my mind is a fish
swimming in
the space of day
...

dusk
lingering me
and my shadow
...

the sea tonight
sweeping to us
the stars
...

there are works that wont be finished
after a thousand rewrites
the mind holds a larger sky
the years glide like the leaves
...

Athens, Georgia
beckoning us to the old days
Allen's red doors
...
