The Bamboo Hut, 2019

homecoming
on my back
cawing crows

--------

good omen
a crow feathers wreath
on the front door


The Bamboo Hut, Summer 2019

------------------------------------


camouflaging
the eastern horizon
grey smoke
the day we surrender
to our fate

---------

in the dust
of war rubble
I inhale
the deep pain
of my ancestors

---------

wildflowers
on her grave
this monsoon
I see the colours
of her deepest pain

---------

family photo
with her lost child
under the oak
where they once played
hide and seek
