Kamu Akan Segera Tahu, Pagi Ini

bulan kita terbit di pinggul pagi, pukul lima

”ma, sudah bangunkah kamu
dari ringkuk dada dan baju daster
yang bergulung?
aku menyingkap jendela,
menerima telpon, memakai
celana pendek. dingin sekali di sini,
tak ada hujan, tapi ada salju
yang turun perlahan mengguyur
tapak kering di tanganmu.
aku menangis, basahlah sekujur
tubuhmu.”

”aku berbisik di telinga kirimu
tapi kamu tersenyum. panggilan
sayang kali ini berbeda.
terasa lebih manis.
aku ingin mengecupnya
menjadi puting yang meraung
pada kekasihnya”

”di jalan yang membentur,
bukalah langkahmu, ma!
aku ingin berselimut
ingin sekali lagi mengulang
bagaimana meniduri harapan silam
yang kadang tumbuh
merambat seperti bulu kakiku.”

”mimpimu, segeralah bermukim
menjadi lagu-lagu
hidupku akan terus bernyanyi
berdegup kencang dengan kerlip lelampu
yang senantiasa memendar
dan menguning

di bawah hujan itu, ma.”
”tapi malam meringkuk begitu jauh
dari sumbernya”


”bukankah bagimu
bagiku itu juga akan menjadi
terang seiring asap-asap
di jalan yang kian terbang
menghinggapi wajah kita
untuk dibasuh. disapu dari lelah”

”ini ma,
hatiku hanya satu
kita hanya berdua
dan tak mungkin lagi
berbagi, selain dengan cinta”

”terkadang, mata ini buta
menyambutmu dari keluasan
laut yang tak bernama sesiapa”

kamu menoleh
aku hidup sekali lagi
kamu bicara
aku bernafas berkali-kali

kita tersenyum
mematikan tivi-tivi kisah remaja

:
sebab tak mungkin aku menguburnya
di perutmu. cukuplah anak kita
yang menempatinya dengan damai.

timbunan lemakku
bertambah. aku akan gemuk
tapi kamu tidak takut

”aku makin menggila, ma
menelan bulat genangan keringat
dingin di kepalamu. rasa asinnya
membuatku tak pernah suka”

”sebab itulah
kenapa asin di lautku
banyak yang tenggelam.
lautku menjadi lava
garam di dalam, garam di rambutmu
aku telan.”

satu
dua
tiga
aku mulai menghitung
kapan kamu akan terbangun
menggenggam pipiku dengan gemas

satu
dua
tiga
kamu gembira
aku tertawa
membuka mata,
matahari, bantal, dan kaca jendela
sudah basah

hujan di sini tiba-tiba turun

”aku ingin berteduh di rimbun alismu
aku ini bersih, bau sabun, lotion,
parfum, semuanya
aku pakai tiap menjelang pagi akan lahir
di pundak rebahmu yang berat”

satu
dua
tiga

”kamu bangun
aku mengenakan celana

:
mari, kita bercanda”

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
