Pada 5 Sajak Kita Terus Mencari

--mama


/1/
biarkan saja
karena kita tak pernah tahu
bagaimana sebenarnya bambu membunyikan bambu
bagaimana sesungguhnya deru saling memburu

bukan karena kita belum sampai
pada syarat yang jauh
tidak pula karena kita memahami
bahkan menginsafi segala arah yang datang
lalu menjadi satu


/2/
hari kelabu
kita menamai setiap catatancatatan
yang memang mesti ditutup.
untuk dibuka halamannya
untuk ditulisi dengan huruf berkapital
lalu kita menjadi kata
yang senantiasa hidup dan berkata
"cha, aku ingin memburu
sampai ke banyak langit
sampai ke limbung loki yang hampir kering
sampai ke hari kelabu
yang masih setia menanti di depan pintu"


/3/
kita ini perupa
yang mengerti bagaimana semestinya garis menjadi
arsiran untuk objek yang utama

lalu tidak seperti biasanya
kita hanya membuat satu titik
kita biarkan penikmat galeri menerkanerka
wujud apa yang kita buat semalam suntuk

kita menggiring mereka
terus masuk
terus menyelami dedasar ilusi yang tak kunjung mati
bahkan menjadi induk di kehidupan nanti
setelah nafasnafas buyar dalam denyutnya sendiri


/4/
menjelmalah,
menjelmalah ke dalam sukmasukma
yang baru ditanami benihnya
supaya menguning di tangan petani.
di perut anak mereka kita menari
:kitalah yang bebas memilih kamar untuk ditiduri
menjadi saripati untuk tubuhtubuh yang tidak lagi putih.


/5/
belum dapat diselesaikan saat ini juga
harus ada waktu yang terus menunggu
entah berapa windu entah berapa abad
sampai kita mengerut dalam jari jemari
sampai kepada doa terakhir yang mesti diamini

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...
