ALIH-ALIH



setelah kembali pada kamar siang itu
ketika telpon kita
baru saja terputus
aku melihat sebuah punggung terbelah

sebuah sungai bening dan bukit dengan kehidupan aneh
lalu perahu-perahu yang berlayar menjauh
aku mereka itu manusia dari tuhan yang lain

aku mengambil kamera yang tergeletak suntuk di atas meja
selepas tombol dinyalakan
aku menangkap sebuah gambar hitam yang melengkug di ujung sana

aku kembali mencari gambar dengan posisi yang lain
aku setengah berjingkat dari ubin-ubin
mereka satu-persatu jatuh ke bawah
mereka membikin kepala yang runcing sebelum membentur dasar

aku menemukan hitam dalam bentuk yang sama
hitam dengan wajah yang hancur dan berdarah
dari kasat lubang matanya
hitam yang lain mengalir
hitam yang hanyut mendekati perahu-perahu yang hendak pergi
menemukan tuhan yang baru

lantas di sana
aku mengira ada sebuah anak panah yang menunjukkan
jalan pulang bagi perahu-perahu yang hilang

aku memandang ke arah mereka
hanya ombak yang sesekali menunjukkan puncak
angin beranjak dari tepian pantai yang menyajikan punggung dingin
dan siap dibekukan dalam sekotak lemari pendingin yang baru saja kita pesan
sepuluh menit sebelum kita saling mengucap
: sayang ini milik salah satu di antara kita

kelak bila sayang ini meninggi
mencapai bukit dengan hitam dan merapi
akan kita temukan
sepasang punggung yang sedang berkelahi
yang satu mengalah dan terbelah
sisanya pun mengalah
lalu hancur

sebelum menyentuh dasar
: di sana mereka kembali
 diciptakan lewat sebatang kayu dengan jiwanya yang membara

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍
