for zhen


so we started out 8 voices strong
but then you came along
and completed the ensemble
the symphony.

and contribute a verse
you did to each and
everyone of us,
and somehow i feel

the tug of strings stronger
in mine.
in yours.
simple trust convened

the faith you invested
in my faith.
i'll never forget the plea
you made

somehow it cemented
our connection then.
so i wish you well
my little abominable snowman

wave an artist's wand
the kind that embraces
magic and
pinkish crazes

and should the tenderfoot take
no interest in the au courant
find comfort in the old
the precipitates of friendship

that lasts a lifetime.
and find a little strip of heaven
the neat splice of earth
in the mash note i gave

and follow its trajectory
from south east to east
feel its singaporean rustle
its nanyang scribble

and ease yourself
with the thought,
the thought
which maybe feels like home.
