Tan Renga
By Uchechukwu Onyedikam / Christina Chin
submerged teabag
spending the morning
with self
gazing out
at the heavy traffic
heart flow —
pen running on a paper
she draws her tale
of love and loss
in blue
oscillating
it gets tiring
august's day to day
the creaking
old fan
a woman —
married to many names
her scars
inked in purple blue
poems
today's stillness
an absolute sunrise
to behold
dispels doubts
of your words
