Bun,

susah sekali menjadi orang tengah.
Tahu kanan dan tahu kiri, tapi
tidak menganan, tidak mengiri.
Menengah adalah stagnan, Bun.
Menengah artinya mesti mau tahu banyak.
Menengah artinya pasrah.
Menengah dah.
Menengadah.
Meneng.
bagaimana caranya jadi manusia?
Kapalnja bersenjata tubuh,
awaknja bersetuju tabah,
sampai achir?

Ya, sampai.
Mohon izin untuk mengenang para wira Indonesia yang betul Tabah Sampai Achir.
you
my hands shake when sunlight hits their stony surface
my heart picks up as if I ran away
away into the dust which settles
on these rusted empty kettles,
kettles that once brewed water
to garden a flower, called
you.
Tame me with the gaze of your eyes
       Shield me from the cold world with the
warmth of your smile.
A new issue can

adjust in a new pattern –


as Euréjà vu!
Experience leads to intuition and Déjà vu

“Die Heimkehr” (“Homecoming: a novel”, 2006, Bernhard Schlink)

Collection "Em Brace"
I pray for a lucid dream tonight,
In a sky colored carpet floor,
Seasoned with bluish tulips
on the ground,
In a pure white long dress,
decorated with pearls,
with happy people beside,
Seeing tall pine trees,
With a calming cloudy weather,
Bits of sunshine
that balances the mood of the setting,
Singing behind the white cottony curtain,
Someone's listening
and waiting for me,
Curtain opens,
Ended the song,
Take down the microphone,
I see someone from a bit distance,
A sudden music played,
That made everyones happy tears fell
and touched,
I walk towards where the man is,
Blurred, but as I go forth to him,
Little by little,
He is getting clearer
From afar, I know
That it is you,
Waiting,
At the end
Of the altar.


-A.M.
Imposing green,
a lonely stretch
into the streaking sky.

Strong and steady,
never wavering,
even in the gales.

Crisp leaves
flutter and shift,
always reaching up.
