"Five Haiku for Sarawak"




My old sarong fades
But memory still calls me
Rice wine 'neath the skulls

Down in the longhouse
Ghosts dangle from the rafters
Join in every song


Chinese New Year cards
From Borneo and Johore
Kitchen God smiles down

Kuching... friendly town
Known for it's lovely women
And Oh.... mee hoon soup


Bau... known for it's gold
Pretty girls with dimpled cheeks
All those friendly smiles
