Five Renga Poems written by Christina Chin and Jim Young - Christina’s lines in italic
suddenly
suburbia is on fire
august sunset
ospreys cross
the east asian flyway
backyard feeder
the praying mantis grabs
a hummingbird
a single feather
lands on the grass
Shiki memorial
on the ground a red
gourd seed
passing slowly
a dung beetle rolls dung
the bone fox
walking wearily home
through the graveyard
a lunar moth circles
the hunter's moon
dawn
on a roof top
a seagull scratching
after a trashcan frenzy
at the parking lot
