Granny Granny Poem by john tiong chunghoo

it must be
from that little
corner of the heart
where pain is most
difficult to contain

that little corner
of the heart where
the world of love
could fit into

that little packet of
groundnuts and tibits
an endearingly cluster
beside the tombstone

granny granny
as promised every year
a packet of your
best loved tidbits

screaming to the dead
as well as the living
like me who could
feel the cluster of love
weighing so heavily
on my own heart
