Four Tan-Renga Poems by Paul Callus & Christina Chin - Collaboration
stumbling—
clearly a bourbon
haze
a one-night stand fails to rise
to expectations
Christina Chin (Malaysia) / Paul Callus (Malta)
bird deterrent
holographic tapes twirl
round the plum tree
a lively breeze
my main accomplice
Christina Chin (Malaysia) / Paul Callus (Malta)
tree of life
Indian mandala
hanging on the wall
finding peace
in the symmetry
Paul Callus (Malta) / Christina Chin (Malaysia)
finding a balance
between old and new
vinyl resurgence
the jukebox spins
Elvis from the 50s
