Eartquake (1)

Though I converge yesterday
Now I want to meet you again
To see you is face long lasting
Under the pteromax lamps
Until your father and mothers
Came from markets
Selling the batiste
Till dinner
Till time to learn come
Till your father come
Ask about our school lesson
Till time to sleep come
I went to my home
Ride bicycle
Across the cold night
Across the whole black

Immortalize Lameness
mother gang at elbow worker of vegetable salesgirl
at the same time fiddle faddle
how its stomach is price in this time
and how the husband do not visit to add the
their expense money
at elbow its boost the high rise physical plant
what its dweller is incoming exit of car
pass in front of the them
they expense have never here
they expense of through phoning
goods is ushering
in their priest enquire
whether this Iameness as God destiny
or there is invisible hand
making them lame
or intellectual result the best craft of the brain
to immortalize Iameness.

The Fog
reveille
overnight rain continues
longevity
the heart is still beating
kedat twitch
many fart
demanding motion continues
calling my wife 'honey, fat'
where are you, is it going?
At the same time, the vendor rolls through, blowing his trumpet
tut, tut, who buy bread battered
ah, the world is still spinning
Furthermore, while the angel of death
pick mist
parted the curtains of the sky
invite Marley
though creed nurcahya
burning chest young children
with love, the light of love
in the hearts of idol

My Mother Never Know
my mother never know
after my father past away
I walk to campus through Malioboro without shoes
(only with sandals) to Campus
I embarasment to meet my friend
Every day I learn at the library and finished the next step
Not yet finished for preparing the future
With my stomag empty
When I hungry I only eat gado-gado, cassave and a glass of water
For entering my mother dreams
To become civil service after finished its
Like what my father do
Who never have opportunity to have a house for their children
Because I never have to the heart to cut my my dreams
Although my heart restlessness

Who is The Girl?
Indeed she was,
Not my servant!
'Then the who IS SHE? 'Mr. Big asked.
Gareng hobbled to lincak, sitting breath, set the answer:
'Children who, yes, he was'
If the parents themselves deny
And the girl herself, nor does it admit it.
Oh, thought Mr. Big, there are children born in this world
Not through the mother's womb
And seeds of his father,
The children of gods who are down to earth
Feel the world is glittering, in the dim
Tobacco shop on the corner.
Sariwati Gareng and Goddess alone,
couples are not blessed with offspring.
'He's a servant, sir, ' replied Sariwati Gareng and stammered.

The Siong Kretek Cigarette
So I have another grandpa
His head bald
like Mahatma Gandhi
His name is Akhmad Tayibi
In his tin lips
he always slip
The Siong kretek cigarette
Its smoke to rotate
In front of the door
And float in the air
And stay on the Banana leaves
When I came there
His eyes glitter brightly
Har, “pick up the coconut with the soft and spongy meat”
For make its “rujak degan”.
While he stay on the bamboo chair in front of his house
And smoke his liong cigarrette again and again
The smoke round, bring his praise
To the sky, to faee the Lord
alone

The Mirror
I am beginning for feeling another
When they often looking their face
on the mirror
of our yunior high class room both of us
are wonder of themselfes
Like picture of themselfes
they ask to themselfes
how beatiful and handsome
but we wonder to from any changes
from time to time
untill we are going home
When we are walking together
or riding our bycyle
on the long road of going home
the windblow to the leaf of 'asem' tree
on the verge of the streets side
full of song and joy
forget incensed to our algebra master

Acute heart
Burrow and search for food around the reef,
Crab-crab explore the link
In coral lips
Stand from lacing waves
Never stop strike
Mouth beach, create ripple
Split foam
spread acute
Acute heart
She wound pursue dreams
Starting from the party
Among the drinks, and palm wine
Distributed in a foreign city
With foreign smile
Girls that smile spreads
Among the guests who continue to
Come

Hungry For Cigarettes Only
Early Saturday morning,
We went to the water roundabout
we have been waited by the car.
We walked straight passed the palace
through the place of Arabians place
left bend climbed above
headed the slate road.
upwards continued,
through many of durian trees,
through fish fish-ponds,
stalled in the repaired roads,
which many organisers of the traffic
from the inhabitants of the village
use the hat, tin asked for the fund contribution
for the improvement of the government road
improved never was finished.
we went straight to Cihideung,
went straight to the hungry of the Old-Peasant.
just need for cigarettes
only,

My Life
in my room; chamber nowadays nothing; there is no decoration disturb
also voices
and any movement
outside there

because us, according to religion
have to control the passion
and habit in the world of we

to become normal
listening go order which according to him told to us from God
whether us have to be kept quiet, without passion
and let God move the life
