john tiong chunghoo Poems

prambanan temples
so passionately the swallows sing
to the gods
...

without its head but
what an assuring buddha shoulder
to lay my hand for a wish!
...

borobudor
inspiring builders
storey after storey
stone upon stone
...

Indonesia
a treasure chest
of the East
...

travelling
i light up the caves
one by one
to see where i am
...

Rock Fort Temple
to the temple at top
two bald women
...

luxuriously petalled peonies soft
and warm like multi-layer skirts
ready for sultry flamenco dancers
and pom pom girls in the fields
...

Amityville Horror
the most terrifying
hoax
...

divine flute
the delicate
sounds of divinity
and deception
...
