SI PEGITAR

The Old Guitarist
An oil painting by Pablo Picasso
Hari-hari bergerak melambat
Dan kita seolah terseret
dengan begitu terpaksa
dari satu jalan menuju yang lainnya
Jam-jam di dinding nampak kaku
Tiktok mulai terdengar tidak nyaring
Kecuali derap langkah kita
terkoyak di antara kesunyian

Aku melihat bayangan
Dari balik etalase
matahari yang hampir susut itu sedang menyedot kita
Kepala hingga bahu
menjadi sedikit lebih lonjong dan sempit
Perut dan tangan menjadi tak dapat dibedakan
Keduanya seolah pasrah sedang terjepit
Dan tinggal kaki
Terlipat dan kaku
Menjadi yang terpantul sia-sia

Sedang waktu
adalah materi yang begitu dekat dengan kita

Orientasi malam dan siang
Panjang interval pagi dan sore
berputar bergantian
memikat dan menjerat
Kita dininabobokkan
Bahwasanya melepaskan diri
adalah akhir yang harus dihindari
Maklumat kematian -begitu naas

Sudah sekian lama
aku ingin mencapaimu
Mengejar yang hampir digenggam kedua tangan
Menarik ujung bajumu
Menghentikan sejenak kepergian

Rupanya di dada
Aku mendengar ceruk terdalam dan terkutuk
Gelembung udara yang meletup dan mendesing
O

Aku mencicipi ciuman yang getir
Sebab kesedihan
Terlanjur mengering di bulu mata

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 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 🤍

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 ...
