Ong Jo-Lene and Sheena Baharudin's Interview on BFM for KataKita

This poem was written in memory of my great grandmother. This is a recollection of what happened shortly before her body was sent to the cemetery.

Before the Funeral

This piece was written as a response to the events that happened in Kuala Lumpur at that time. It is an angry piece yet reflective in nature at the same time.

Butterflies Gone Wild

This piece is interesting. It was born 30 minutes prior to a poetry slam when I was chosen as the sacrificial lamb. Then, I worked on it further. It's dark and it's feminine.

Hell

I like performing this piece because it really brings out the Kali side of me. Har har. On a more serious note, there are several references in here that wouldn't be so hard for a Malaysian to notice.

Translucent

Wrote this poem last weekend when I was in Penang, getting ready for Busking for Local Democracy Fest. It was raining, hard.
