Poems about Poetry

Antediluvian Kural on Twitter

by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé


He kicked off his sandals, walked

barefoot into the kitchen.

“I want to believe you. Will you let me?”

The moon went blue, strange and grey.

~

I don’t feel safe in this world.

Like their lyric poet,

I write – sharp tool, voice hollow in a creek:

“Was it a good death for the animal?”

~

Strictly entre nous, both chairs collapse,

one teak and mulberry find.

Between you and me, you and I –

where’s the ochre corridor? Take us?
