Visit Malaysia Year Haiku - Moonlight Bungalow, Cameron Highlands Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Moonlight Bungalow
an emptiness trails
the sweeping view

Moonlight Bungalow
the corroding ceiling evokes
a haunted feel

Moonlight Bungalow
fireplace, fireplace,
every room a fireplace

Moonlight Bungalow
between the walls
the scream for an answer

Moonlight Bungalow
so many fireplaces
waiting to be lit again

Moonlight Bungalow
nowhere to run
nowhere to run
