you are here

Uchechukwu Onyedikam and Christina Chin

Collaborative tan-renga poem

YOU ARE HERE

island
paradise—
deep inside
the red corallium reefs
first taste of scuba dive

YOU ARE HERE

a cloud
of swooping
swallows—
snapdragons
sprout

YOU ARE HERE

frigid air
in the porch
the loyal collie
wags at its
master’s whistles
