bidding goodnight 

and lights off

children giggling 

a bedtime story 

of two siblings

baby strapped 

to mama's back

the endless path

pot of water

on her head

the fragrance

of night blooming

jasmine

a red-lipped

queen of the district

4

an old lady

a mite uneasy

of ageing 

a sigh of relief 

after the will



— Uchechukwu Onyedikam/Christina Chin
