Poetry 2025 Longlist, Hanh Chau

 The Lost City 


The night comes

in a dark shadow

through a scene

of a battlefield

enfold with a

shattered dream

comes a legacy

of a story to tell

streets remain in a

silent echo of a stage

whisper of wind

murmur in shed tears

in every breath of life

at a state of crisis

with a convey message

by a death sentence

from the disaster of war

bring a sense of fear

from the witness

of the atomic bomb

consume the soul

with despair


sending a chill down

to the spine

haunted by the

pass ghostly spirit

through the breeze

of dancing thick air

scattered mask fright

filled the atmosphere

with terror

memory imprinted

with heartbreak

of a sorrow

in the lost land
