PASAL 0
bangunan lama rupanya telah mendirikan sesuatu
di hari minggu legi pagi sewaktu air ketuban melulur
dari rahim ibumu menuju tangismu. sesuatu itu
menubuatkan tentang nasihat

“kelahiran adalah ibuketiadaan.”

PASAL 1
maka terkuaklah bangunan lama
mengapa ia ada dan mencipta
riwayat di balik nama kanakmu. ketahuilah,
ia hanya terjadi karena pintu yang terbuka
setelah airmata mengetuk perlahan.

PASAL 2
ada nyanyian ninabobo, sayup
semakin kecil dan kecil
datang lewat puting susu eyangmu. nyanyian
itu menanggalkan sangkakala dari malaikat
yang mencoba menyerahkannya
kepada ibumu.

PASAL 3
apakah sakit yang kau kandung bermula
setelah bapakmu menghamili perasaan
tentang neraka. bahwa surga tak ada
di atas sana….tak ada di pikiranmu,
namun ada di perasaanmu yang sewaktu-
waktu bisa berlumur darah.

PASAL 4
siapa rumah yang merawat bayisepi
pada botol susu tawarmu saat kau teguk
di bawah pohon jambu bangkok,

nak?

PASAL 5
gigi-gigimu masih putih
berat badanmu masih normal
kulit tubuhmu masih kuning langsat
ingatanmu masih menyala
:
bau pasar yang terbakar di belakang
persinggahan simbah.
- maka berasaplah segalanya
gigi, berat badan dan kulit tubuh
bahkan ingatanmu -

PASAL 6
jangan malas menghafal siang
nanti kau tinggal tanpa mengenal
di mana bapak-ibu menghukummu
hampir setiap kali mata tak mau
pergi ke ranjang.

PASAL 7
ingatlah berapa buah jambu air
yang kau jatuhkan ke selokan
sehabis mual-mual mencium
air kencingmu.

PASAL 8
“tidurlah yang nyenyak, ya
biar cambuk di punggungmu
lekas merah.”

PASAL 9
di waktu maghrib, teras rumah
menjadi saksi nasihat bapakmu;
airmata tak mengenal waktu.

PASAL 10
sepeda baru untuk satu dekade
kaki baru untuk belajar mengayuh
menuju pengertian tentang
j a t u h.

PASAL 11
malam-malam ingin berkhianat
seperti teman sekampung
melarangmu bermain petak umpet.

PASAL 12
bagaimana penafsiran tentang kebodohan
pertanyaan yang mengakhiri jawaban
ke atas meja belajar,

“aku tak akan bertanya kepada bapak lagi?”

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...
