Poetry from Christina Chin and Matthew Defibaugh

harmony in the midst

of an orderly universe

. . . earth's chaos



invisible

from outer space


Christina Chin / M. R. Defibaugh





lonely night 

how long this cold

winter river



train leaving

for home



Christina Chin / M. R. Defibaugh





boarding

the same train . . .

different destinations 



a cluster of felled branches

in the olive’s shade


Christina Chin / M. R. Defibaugh





a few strands of hair 

caught on her lips

golden field season



her sequined gown

blows them away



Christina Chin / M. R. Defibaugh





uneasy night

the whining horse  

in a haunted barn



the old nag telling

his fate 



Christina Chin / M. R. Defibaugh
