Poetry from Christina Chin and Uchechukwu Onyedikam


reflection

mirror of something —

the hummingbird

mistakes 

for a mate 



sundown… 

hungry after 

an evening walk

the village dweller

making fire



the homeless man

lives by the day

the sun sets on a stray dog

at my backyard

maybe it's love




the sparrow 

in and out of the nest

mother's love

a child and his father

where she calls home





time escapes hold

on the local train

with lit of cheer

on the dust 

powdered faces 





the departed soul

with the void

no return

only if he has 

no attachments



always 

the question of 'to-who' 

follow the owl

the new moon's emissary


to salvation






fifteenth night

of the seventh lunar moon

she's been...

the ghost i recognize

in this graveyard





unread 

messages…

rainy night

gently pounding the roof


heartbreak hotel






the vibrant 

deep and jazzy voice

in her belly

the old soul

sun & moon
