john tiong chunghoo Poems

Hawke's Bay
Great Long Lunch
we drown out the sea
...

smooth as the
grape farms
the best grade wine

to say i believe in God is also easy

a hen pecked husband

Facebook
faces, faces, faces
just faces
...

twin happiness
identical boys escape
death penalty
...

two months old
she cajoles and talks
for her newborn
...

that rose you sent to me
they have withered, dried
head bowed over the jug
also from you
...
