Hujan dan Rindu

hujan menyelamatkan rindu
yang tak pernah kau kenali
rasa sayang harus kembali ke benak gerimis
sebelum dingin memusuhi rasa sakit

ketika duka coba ditulis
masa depan tiba-tiba pecah
seperti kenangan yang mengiris-iris
seperti luka yang tak mungkin sembuh oleh tangis

hujan mempertegas sunyi
sehingga rindu harus kembali dimaknai
setelah kata-kata mandul
dan segenap bahasa menjadi tumpul

kerinduan yang lumpuh
dan kehangatan semu
akhirnya harus luruh. mengalir
dalam bening sungai bernama puisi
hanyut dalam hening kepak kupu-kupu yang terus bertasbih

hujan mengantarkan rindu
pulang ke makna terdalam
tentang cinta kepada sirah paling harum
tentang kisah yang membasahi semesta
lewat embun pada dedaun

hujan dan rindu saling menguatkan
seperti laut yang membutuhkan jarak
agar ia bisa disebut samudera

Getting into Hot Water

Today I read the status of a friend on Facebook. She was making a remark about a few topics one of which is fraud in the self-publishing industry. The owner of the publisher was said to have deceived several customers who had completed the payment but received no books they ordered. This immediately arouses my attention as I'm currently running a self-publishing house of my own. What's more agonizing is that those deceived are but bloggers to which I also belong. I'm speaking on behalf of both parties. Getting into hot water means getting a trouble (Credit: yanalya/freepik) She should have been more careful in managing her issues in the publishing business. Regardless of the victims, what she commits is likely to ruin our fellow publishers as well as tantalize blogosphere. This news should be the words of everyone very soon. An idiomatic expression goes with her case. She's getting into hot water which means she's placing herself in great danger. She's both...

Down in The Dumps

I have been down in the dumps lately due to the process of moving out to my hometown. Finding the best vehicle to transport our goods and belonging has been no easy task. Luckily, my brother has helped me out to get a truck from where he is living. On the other side, we have concerns about the capacity of the truck in accommodating our stuff. We don't have lots of things though, but books are our treasure which cannot be left behind. Don't let yourself down in the dumps (Credit: cookie studio/freepik) The truck driver has required us to get him a cover letter from the local district police to keep him secure during the travel. You know what, dealing with police officers and other government officials is something we Indonesians are fed up with. Yes, I'm so worried and feeling uneasy. Unhappy thoughts run through me. Idiomatically, I'm being down in the dumps . Down in the Dumps artinya sangat bersedih, sedang gelisah

Off the Beaten Track

Back to the years of senior high school, I was once spending a night in my best friend's home. While his village is administered to Lamongan Regency, the location was quite far from the capital city and was actually closer to Bojonegoro administration. I couldn't hide my surprise when spotting the houses as well as the street in the village. They were totally different from I normally see in my neighborhood. The houses looked so outmoded that I almost forgot my whereabouts. Off the beaten track = very remote (Credit: wirestock/freepik) I jokingly said to him, "Man, is the village of yours still under Soekarno presidency or what?" He responded with a smile. The objects in the village tended to create a particular ambiance of antiquity. Something very old-fashioned. In order to get to the place, we had to take a bus and then ride a rented motorcycle as there was no other public transport available. When I had to poop, my friend led me to a large river where a...
