Kita adalah semacam bioluminescence dalam garis-garis kehidupan yang saling bersilangan. Kadang cahayamu remang, cahayaku terang. Atau sebaliknya. Dalam gelap, kita saling mencari secercah masing-masing. Memicingkan mata pada rindu yang membuncah dan membuat kita resah.

Aku bergerak secara oscillasi menujumu. Cinta kita adalah semacam polarisasi optik terhadap silang emosi yang tarik-menarik. Semua yang indah akan nampak seperti titik-titik cahaya yang kau lihat dari balik pelupuk mata yang basah. Semuanya seperti pecah sekaligus rekat. Seakan jauh sekaligus dekat.

Kita tunduk pada hukum Snellius: seperti sudut datang dan sudut bias pada cahaya yang melalui batas antara dua medium isotropik berbeda. Kamu. Dan aku. Di tengahnya, ada kita.

I haven't been writing a lot these past two years. I haven't been sharing a lot as well. I didn't have the mental capacity to do so. Moving to Amsterdam during the pandemic—with lockdowns and curfews, far from friends and families, didn't sit well with me. I was sad most of the time. Angry, other times.

Hi. I'm HANNY
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.
