Bagaimana Aku

bagaimana aku harus mengatakan kepada pelipis batu yang
perlahan terkikis dan menjadi kerikil di pangkal ketiakmu
agar tulisanku kelak tidak sia-sia
tidak percuma menjadi garam yang menguap di antara
kelekak rambutmu yang berkeringat

bagaimana aku harus mengatakan kepada bintang yang
paling timur dari kepalaku yang menghadap matahari
tentang pagi yang baru muncul di antara dua bukit wanita-wanita pembawa bunga di desa-desa
tentang pakaian orang-orang bertelanjang kaki
tentang pakaian orang-orang yang tertutup permukaan tangannya
tentang aku
yang senantiasa bertanya bagaimana
mengatakan ribuan denyut nadi
yang berawal dari sebuah kecemasan
yang berawal dari sebuah tikaman
lalu panahan suku anak dalam

bagaimana aku harus mengatakan delapan windu yang tersimpan
sebagai rahasia yang rumit
yang tidak pernah menemui kekasihnya
atau sekadar istirah dari pendakian panjang di masa silam

bagaimana aku . . .

What Does Friend Mean?

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 ...
