Choo En Ting: “The Revenant”
.at the end, the comma
is carrying a coffin filled
with himself, his crooked leg
dangling & bleeding
darkness into desperate twilight,
he leaps like a beggar
of second chances,
going up & up
the only thing he sees,
a black sun smiling
with a knife to cut out
a new beginning,
