<p>シンガポールで <br />

コーヒを飲みます <br />

永遠の夏

Sipping coffee here <br />

Heat of Singapore tropics <br />

Eternal summer

<p>No, my trip to the <br />
|

sea-shore <br />
|
|
wasn't a dream <br />
|

See- <br />

The sand on my feet-

<b>Away to (hopefully) safety: A poem, written after reading

Loung Ung's "First they killed my father"

|
|
Wordlessly, <br />
|
|
I smacked the coffee-stain <br />
|
|
on its rump- <br />
|
|
And checked- <br />
|
|
Was it gone? <br />
|
|
Maybe, the sea - where I had sent it to - was not its home, <br />
|
|
but then, <br />
|
|
neither was I; <br />
|
|
Or, I could no longer be

<p><b>A haiku in the 21st century
|
|
</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sea-water. Wet socks. <br />
|
|
What is that shiny thing there? <br />
|
|
I don't know. Space-ship?

<p><b>
|
|
Durians
|
|
</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
During a durable durian season <br />
|
|
Tourists carefully took a taste <br />
|
|
Oh! Wheezing and sneezing <br />
|
|
Some abstained <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Durian, so divisive <br />
|
|
The pulp, so cohesive <br />
|
|
Its spikes, can't help but pierce <br />
|
|
Eat it thrice, does it induce tears? <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Run away from the porcupine-husk <br />
|
|
It gets solitude, at last <br />
|
|
A protective shell repels; <br />
|
|
Invites lovers; disgusts all else <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Durian, what is it? <br />
|
|
Must be some evil treat! <br />
|
|
Creamy flesh, pungent smell <br />
|
|
Don't complain about this hell <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Nest of centipedes, lay in wait <br />
|
|
Come ye, brave hunters, <br />
|
|
'tis not too late! <br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
'tis harvest season — <br />
|
|
Who wants some? <br />
|
|
Durian-lovers — <br />
|
|
I bid you come!
