'Unity in the Body'
an abstract painting by Ruth Palmer


tak ada matahari di kamarku
selain pantulan yang nampak terang
tertembak dari sudut dinding yang datar

bayangan pukul tujuh pagi
menghentikan sisa kantuk yang mesti diterjemahkan
atau sekadar diamati

seperti kedua mata
ketajamannya mengintai keberadaanku
aku pun terkapar di antara jajaran pohon
persembunyian menjelang sore
menghasilkan sudut-sudut lancip dan tidak beraturan
mereka bercabang di kepalaku
membikin semacam jalan buntu
yang lebih menyesatkan

aku terperosok ke dalam mimpi
rumputan liar mengoyak sebagian kulit di lenganku

ada yang terhenti
misalnya kisah sepasang anak domba yang lincah
tidak lagi melompat dan berlari
atau ketakutan meninggalkan luka-luka kecil selama musim panas
lantas di pertengahan laman Wikipedia bertajuk dog days
Quintilis yang purba memanen hasil kebun-kebun
mengorbankan festival pertanian di tangan seorang Romawi

dalam sebuah rancangan kota yang teratur
aku berlatih menyusun ranting
merapikan geliat tubuh, mengikatnya lebih kuat

aku membangun Vici, konsep wilayah urban untuk beberapa abad ke depan
namun kepada siapa mesti kujelaskan berita di koran hari ini
tentang sebuah headline
'Masa Kanak-kanak pun Mesti Dilepaskan'

ketika pergi, aku membawa sepasang pupil
cahaya yang terang, dan sekantong pelangi
terbungkus dalam selaput

di antara kembara dan kesunyian yang kekal
sebuah ligamen
menghubungkan ganjil-genap
nomor kendaraan yang dikandung kenangan

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 ...
