Saya memandangi bulan malam itu dan memikirkan kamu.
Tiba-tiba sebuah pola yang nyaris tak terlihat menggores permukaan bulan, membentuk baris-baris kata yang berbunyi: “I’m not here”.
Bahkan bulan tidak lagi bisa mengkompensasi ketidakhadiran kamu di sini.
Atta: saya sangat ingin berlabuh di suatu dermaga; tidak peduli lagi akan berlabuh di dermaga yang sama–atau di dermaga yang lain. Capek berlayar nih, mana musim tsunami 🙁
A sestina about a slow-burning encounter and sensually-charged day that unfolds between two people, where ordinary groceries mirror growing intimacy and desire.
In our teens, we formed a band. The lineup was based more on who was in our circle than on musical skill. Maybe there was someone you liked, and even if they didn’t play any instruments, surely they could shake the tambourine.
Poem on friendship and nostalgia: I was in my twenties when a friend asked me if I wanted to be his 3 a.m. buddy—one of the biggest compliments anyone’s ever handed me.
I am an Indonesian writer/artist/illustrator and stationery web shop owner (Cafe Analog) based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I love facilitating writing/creative workshops and retreats, especially when they are tied to self-exploration and self-expression. In Indonesian, 'beradadisini' means being here. So, here I am, documenting life—one word at a time.
