		<description><![CDATA[My grandfather saw devils, right before he died. “They’re here, they’re here!” he exclaimed to my mum and cousins, who were in the room at the time. His fearful eyes were wide open. My cousins splashed holy water in the corner where he saw the devils. My grandfather looked to the right, where a statue of the Virgin Mary stood. It was this image that he took with him. His eyes fluttered, body shaking. And then he was gone.

I cried for the rest of the night. People were meant to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Ba, my biological imperative is to marry and have children. I was dozing before this, but his words shake me up. His voice travels far: he and Ma are having their morning conversation with condensed-milk coffee at the back of the house while I’m in the front, but it sounds like he’s shouting in my ear. Quit writing. Get married. Have babies. That’s an order, Daughter.

No directives from Ma. She prefers hijacking conversations with reminiscences of Auntie Mai’s daughter’s engagement party. Never mind that it happened three months ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[gone
she is
a million billion
scattered atoms
each complete unto
itself and I am at peace

some
would call
her passing
a failure of heart
as though fragility won
despite all best intentions
here
the roses
pale-centred
offer a lemon tang
she couldn&#8217;t have known
in her final season but I can
we
assimilate
the remainders
of each attentive breath
she is my stem my roots
and I am her sense of forever

		<description><![CDATA[Slicing the knot of the ancestors
Diving through the heavens
He came.
Headfirst, warm-wet, amphibian,
He slithered into the light
Sleek with both our blood.

My familiar passenger transformed
into this stranger.
Look at your beautiful boy, they said
and I stared
while he thrashed on my chest.
My son is white.
The white of milkmaids and marble
The righteous white
that robbed his grandfather&#8217;s freedom.
(Go Home Chink
Stick to your own kind).
My breast under the creamy curl of his fist
is brown as a peasant.
I scan his navy eyes, his nutmeg hair
Searching for a mirror
for a memory,
a lineage.
But his naked gaze
is utterly strange.
He does not ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The festival of colour aerates
I wear my attire, original, personal
air the melody , small bells tinkle
music reverberates
flow of my village stream, melody of cuckoo unite
scars of colour in body parts
a new sensation, thousand hearts wave
Life greets
A niche to a perfect living.

Marriage, a social sanction,
heart sanctions the handsome
fairy queen meets the prince
vacant space fulfils, I get lunatic
surrender the heart and soul
fidelity under scanner, I get a punitive action
children too abandon, I regret
he makes me the part of life.
Other woman to his woman, the tag removed
for me a respite, the reliving
the life ...]]></description>
