Tan - Renga Poetry Collaboration by Christina Chin (Malaysia) & Uchechukwu Onyedikam (Nigeria)
the
village
witch
doctor's
abracadabra
summer sun
disappears
uplifting
blind eyes
now gone
the chance
of beauty
taste on my
lips
the sweat
salt
and rare meat
drenched in old memory
she comes with murder
at the sight
of a cockroach
time between
us
our hearts
running on muse
lover — and
a friend
she is not
but a fiend
couple
wind &
tree
peace of
mortals
a utopian
fantasy
