'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

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 🤍
