Suluk Ibu Kota

aku ingin terhenti di setiap stasiun
dan membawa raib kedua tanganmu saja
sepasang mata anak yang masih kecil
pandangannya menukik dari ujung peron
barangkali hendak bertanya-tanya
kemana aku bergegas 
membawa setumpuk garis-garis nasib
beban yang dipikul semenjak pagi
semenjak kabut tak dapat dibedakan lagi dari pengguna jalanan

kepada kawanku, sepanjang garis pemetaan di hadapan mall dan kantor-kantor yang menjadi silau menjelang sore
di tengah jembatan yang menguning pukul lima belas
aku mencium bau ocha
dan gaung irasshaimase

sushi dan ramen tersaji di atas meja
kita tak pernah tahu pengunjung mana yang paling tabah
menanti keduanya habis tertelan

seperti katamu ada yang terluka dan lemas
merasa lebih dingin dari udara di sekitaran komplek rumah kita
sebab pohon-pohon katamu, menjadi agen pertukaran
ketika oksigen mesti dipulangkan dan C O dua dilepaskan
keduanya jarang sekali bertemu

aku kesulitan mencari alasan kenapa membawamu bepergian sejauh ini
di dalam tasku tak ada peta
jarum kompas pun linglung
jalur pendakian di sebelah timur terbakar
lumut-lumut menghancurkan rute di barat
ombak bergejolak di Pantai Selatan
sedang di utara, beruang kutub yang hibernasi
baru saja menempuh pengasingan diri
dari Cumberbatch yang kesulitan melafalkan pinguin 

hanya ada aku, masih cemas merapikan saldo 
pindah di masing-masing halte
sambil menerka kemana bus yang kita tumpangi
melewatkan malam minggu di ibu kota

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 ...
