Tan-Renga
the dull midnight star
a trailer to the homestead
mother lay still breathless
the solemn departure
of the village babu
Uchechukwu Onyedikam/Christina Chin
the young boy
clings to her lifeless body
screams above the breath
a scene of loss
family mourning
Christina Chin/Uchechukwu Onyedikam
