Di Bawah Langit AMPERA


: ayah bayu

Menunggu siapa lagi selain gang dan lorong yang kami umpamakan terus memaki dan berusaha bunuh diri?”

Ada banyak perempuan
Di jalan panglima yang lebar
Tikungan kota dan kawasan kota dekat muara
Paling tidak 
hidup yang berlayar di bawah Ampera
menjadi tempat tinggal paling mencekam 
di sepanjang bangun kami

Pukul tiga pagi waktu matahari
Tak banyak yang lewat
Pintu rumah dikunci
anak-anak kecil yang mengamuk manja dalam mimpi
Meneriaki rumah kami
anjing-anjing menggeliat di gerbang pabrik
listrik menjadi pucat
kerusakan arus terkadang memaksa kami terdampar dan hanyut
entah apakah teluk pun mengenal lautnya yang tak pernah kering

sebongkah batu yang makin larut
menyumbat ususparau kami yang terdengar nyaring
namun terpotong-potong

Ai... 
siapa pun yang memutar jalan di depan pagar kami
Apakah serumpun istri yang menetaskan telur di lingkar kepalanya 
tak kuat sekadar menjadi lindu yang ditunda kehancurannya  
Sedang dingin yang masuk percuma atas kami 
telah menjadi percikan meteor yang jatuh
Kerinduan di tanah
diamdiam berlubang
luput di dalam detak
luput di dalam jantung
luput dari apa pun yang membawa kesepian
mengutuk kami pada khusyuk
dan telungkup doa dengan bergantian

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

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 ...
