Sang Malam tak pernah berhenti menanyaiku, “Dapatkah aku memilikimu?” “Siapa kamu?” jawabku lagi dan lagi, dan kali itu dia menjelaskan, “Kamu tak mengenalku? Aku yang selalu menemanimu saat matamu tertutup. Aku yang membangunkanmu saat aku tak mampu lagi terjaga. Aku juga yang memberimu keindahan saat dunia tak lagi terang.” “Apa maksudmu?” “Maksudku masih sama, dapatkah … Continue reading »
“Tuhan Tidak Pernah Keliru”
Dulu aku pernah punya sebuah mimpi, dan aku berusaha mengejar mimpiku. Terlalu mengandalkan diriku sendiri, aku lalu lupa dengan tujuanku. Aku hilang. Aku takut. Lalu Tuhan menemukanku dan mengirimkan banyak malaikat untuk menolongku. Dalam ketakutanku, salah satu malaikat berkata, “Kamu egois. Kamu bukan ibu yang baik.

Not a Melodious Ticking: The Fall of the Damned Soul
The whole world’s singing the same lyrics with the same melody. I do understand what they sing. Now I know. I know; their song isn’t the best song that I’ve ever heard.

Waktuku
Ya, aku terduduk di sini. Hampir pagi. Hanya detik dua jam dinding. Hanya dedaunan jatuh dari ranting. Hanya jangkrik berderik. Beberapa kali kendaraan berlalu. Tak ku nyalakan cahaya apapun. Hanya aku dan gelapnya kamar. Aku tau, semua ada di benakku. Dulu dan sekarang. Perlahan, tapi itu pasti. Tak sedikitpun rasaku menghilang. Mungkin juga bertambah. Semua … Continue reading »

The automatic syndrome of our pulse moves unsteadily without any reason or purpose or motive. Everything’s just on its own dramatic scene of nineteenth century drama films. When it goes round and … Continue reading »
