Love’s Reckoning · Poems
LOSS
Poems about absence, endings and the long way grief takes home — written for the people and things love could not keep.
The White Coat
A cold, plain poem about the distance between a man's public reputation and the house he goes home to. This is a work of fiction; characters and circumstances have been fictionalised.
De Witte Jas
By Ella Tan.
They Called It Safety
A mother's reckoning — a literary, subjective poem about institutions that rename power as virtue, and a mother who refuses to let an official judgment become the truth about her love.
A Note from the Doll
A doll writes home to the girl who loved her — a poem about leaving, change, and the long way love takes to return. For Lotus.
Love Will Return in Another Way
After Kafka and the lost doll: a poem about how love changes form but never truly leaves. For Kafka, the doll, and the girl who waited.
