Jalan : Penghuni Malam yang Asing

: wi

jalan 1

dimana aku harus memadamkan api
sedang ini waktu hujan adalah malam
dan penghuninya yang asing
dengan banban motor
mengalir denyut mereka yang dikejarkejar para laron
dan penyinggahan adalah tempat pemadaman itu sendiri

jalan 2

dari mana aku harus memulai sajak ini
bila kata habis terpotong
lalu bunting tibatiba
tanpa ada sedikit sanggama dan bibir yang basah
: sajak ini siasia

jalan 3

siapa yang harusku kutuk di sini
atau melempari rambut dengan gumpalan batu
memagari tubuh dengan kerangkeng besi
atau meniduri setiap geletar nafas
luruh oleh ribuan gerimis gelombang
leherku tersekat
laut begitu asin dan pekat
badan perahu badan ikan
aku kini lebih memahamimu
: sebagai penghuni malam yang memakai baju kedodoran

jalan 4

jarak di sini musti kutuntaskan
penghuni malam yang asing
di setiap pemahaman akan jalan
terselip makna entah segala apa

jalan yang asing
aku jadi jelma penghuni malam yang asing
yang juga siasia

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
