struktur

dunia hampir runtuh
seperti bulan yang gagal bercermin
tatkala kaki-kaki patah satu per satu
seperti telapak tangan yang meringik
tatkala surya menebar rasa tanpa asa
berkelok-kelok berliku-liku
mendongak surai berdenting khayalan
lampu kelap kelip aliran listrik
warna warni suka cita
tawa asing menjelma bising
namun dadanya kembang kempis
seolah bahagia itu gratis

kini kilau menerpa air got
cahaya bulan telah diserobot
dunia hampir runtuh
dunia siapa, dunia siapa-siapa

a chunk of glass

i've been wanting to paint your soul with the color of the world so that you can see the magic hiding behind everyone's eyes i've been wanting to whisper poems about stars and dreams to your abyss praying for you long last memories i've been wanting to stitch your limbs to help you learn how to dance and venture to fail your loneliness from tearing you apart maybe if i had listened to the beat of your core how transparent and colorless it was like a chunk of glass i see that's why sometimes it looks empty only when i finally tried to stare closely and squint my eyes only if i was not too scared to know what's inside it was unmolded not sure if it's too strong or too stubborn either way, it remained the same.

letter from consciousness

Saving you is a way to save myself. There were times when I was frightened with being empty. Empty means I have no solid core. I imagine myself functioning like a sponge, in which is capable of absorbing all those residues that left by other people. Sponge only has meaning when it is capable of permeating. Therefore, I become anxious when it's empty. I'll urgently pull things as fillers, whether they make sense or not. I become obsessed with it for awhile. Walking on this heavily congested earth like a wanderer searching for purpose. I am searching for something like sorrow, so I am able to breaking it down into small particles I could hold with my palms. Maybe it explains my attachment with everything that is complicated and ruined. Somehow, it almost looks like a wonderful illness that makes you sick with excitement. As if I am a sage without any heroes to guide. I write their stories in a journal exhibited in my consciousness, drafting them down until they become a pattern ...
