Unfinished song 1
How strange
the injuries we cause each other
don't disappear with time
but manifest like termites
from the woodwork of our mind

Sushi
I see his steady hands
dab the wasabi onÂ
the focus of years bygone-
heâs done, and hands
It over to my sideÂ
my watering maw wet
and I bastardise his sweat
selfishly pushing aside
the countless days
of cuts and sleepless nights
I add a dollop moreÂ
of the mustard stem
âI need the spiceâ, I say
and he looks on, poker-faced
while he sighs internally
he carries on determinedly
still patient -he isnât fazed
because the kid is coming tomorrowÂ
and his eyes shine like a greedy crow
and taking in everything
and asking anything
he loves preparing for the kid
because the kid is patient
hungry with no hesitation
still so curious amid
the cacophony of patron birds
who feast on anything
and defecate on everything;
his hands are steady
and when the craft is ready
the kid dabs the shoyu
on :Â âjust like I taught youâ,
he thinks fondly
his hands to his mouth
and he recalls the countless days
cutting and the early mornings
all in that curious mouth.

Life and People and Girls
Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit
we tread on eggshells
or dance upon theÂ
fine-tuned balanced scales of relational minefields.
Precariously movingÂ
on rickety fences
we set up, hoping
for strong defences.
Projects startedÂ
with great gusto
soon discarded
without bravado.
One by one
they drag like anchors
metric tonnes
on the body of the soul,
and, razor sharp
memories that cut
nonchalantly but-
agonisingly-
that we rewind
while of sound mind
to torture ourselves.
really,
we are masochists
who plunge ourselves
into
realitiesÂ
that bite so hardÂ
they make us gasp.

Ghost of Summer: after the sculpture by Anna Gillespie
The ghost of summer wears
leaves of autumn wings, and
flies- sleeping- to each place
his wings must go.
The ghost of summer cries
his tears of summerâs hand,
which gently shrink whilst
autumnâs wings turn green
to red and gold.
The ghost of summer sails
on seas of constant change,
easing day by day from
warm to cold and coldÂ
to warm again.
The ghost of summer lands
in futureâs steady flow,
and gently shrugs off
summerâs skin- revealing
autumnâs frame.

If it's not easy for us to talk
If itâs not easy for us to talk, we can just write to one another would that be better? If itâs not easy for us to meet, we can just send pictures to one another and though weâre further from each other we can see each other like never before I can write in blood and ink like I always do; and you can use whatever you want to I know Iâm the stupid little fucker who still wants to talk to you but if itâs not easy for us to talk we can just write to one another would that be better? It would be nice if we could meet is keeping distance doing us well? I donât know if weâll ever talk âcause you never seem to want to weâve not caught up in awhile and I hate to say this but Iâm afraid we never will I donât know what you want; but if itâs not easy for us to talk we can just write to one another; would that be better? would that be better?

I am an entitled millennial
I feel like a candle
burning at both ends
so much light
so much warmth
more than some can handle
more than some would want
but sure enough they all say
âWhat bright light!
what embracing warmth!â
Some, they go away
and some they stay
Stay and fan my flames for a little while
a little while
while
I burn
I go out fast
faster than youâd like
but while Iâm burning
stay awhile
a little while
while
I burn
Iâm going soon
donât cry for me
but stay awhile
a little while
while I burn
and watch me shine
my bright light
my warmth
donât go away
just stay
and look
look!
Iâm getting
brighter
one
last
time
my curtain call
I burn

gardening has this reputation as a gentle and chill hobby but you know what?? gardening is actually a constant and brutal conflict between the human need for control and the will of life to spread - a battle between life and death itself, even. in the garden I am the Overlord Supreme, Peerless Queen of the Dirt, Arbiter Above All, the ultimate and final judge over who gets to live and who must die. I drowned an entire anthill today for daring to exist in my realm, and the blood of hundreds has soiled my soul. my thumbs may be green but my hands are black and deadly.

An Essay On Loss; Or, A letter to her
The memories come flooding back-
Things that time and tide donât wash away
Or maybe
I am holding on;
still holding on
and they flood my mind
and my nose
and my mouth
and my lungs
my stomach
and the spaces you once filled
and I find
I am drowning
or floating
but not swimming
and the way
you used to say:
âYouâre so weird, Sam.â
with that look in your eyes
-that said-
that look in your eyes:
âIâm not entirely sure.â
and I say:
âI knowâ
and it
hurts.
it
hurts
and
Iâm sorry.
Iâm sorry I couldnât be how you deserved me
Iâm sorry I was always there when you needed me
Iâm sorry we started meaning âgoodbyeâ with each 'Helloâ
Iâm sorry I wrote this;
I hope you never have to read it
because I am ashamed
(and because youâd say things like:
âWhere did you get this from?â
and âI donât understand.â
and âYouâre taking this too far.â,
because you wouldnât have
consciously processed it
except in your undercurrent
and in
the two-week-long replies
and
the busy silences
which meant nothing-
and everything)
but this is my closure
my mourning
my catharsis
my âmeluah-ingâ
my expressionism
and my art
since I lack fluency
in social situations
and human interactions
but am well-versed
in action and ink
like when I read âCrow Fireâ
a loud
and made you
smile
and you said:
âYouâre so good, Sam!â
and made me
smile;
I still have that picture, you know?
And remember your paintings
And your 15th birthday photo
And I often think of you sometimes
But have you seen me lately?
I am different and more mature
And I learnt to be less weird
I dress better
And my black book is almost finished
Iâll show it to you when we meet again
And Josh says he was upset
That you barely mentioned me
and no one would expect
That we were close
once
But thatâs not fair
Because I know you tried
And you polish the strings
That hold us together
Or,
you did anyway.
The truth is, you
Were often busy
And had many
Priorities which began with:
G, and F, and U, and F again, and recently, B.
But none of them really started with S.
The memories come flooding back-
Things that time and tide donât wash away
Time and tide donât wash away
They
              Float
U s
                             A  p  a  r  t
But
These are my words
These are my feelings
Are my thoughts
Itâs me
Itâs mine
Itâs my
way of saying
                       Goodbye.

Discoveries at 4:30 am in M'sia
1. There are still cars around. Why? 2. You are either, falling asleep, waking up, or something else altogether(that's me). 3. At Maccies, you are either Chinese gangster, Malay gengster, Indian geng-ster, or College student defeating the coursework warlords to succeed in winning the hand of the degree princess. Or the manager reviewing the place. 4. People work at this time. Like, they Really work at this time. 5. The person you're with, you're really good friends with.
