Karaoke kyoka

at the karaoke
i was so delighted, as if
we were doing a duet
as the music stopped, i learned
you were just a microphone

Old habit haiku

a big rock
remains after the flood
my old habits

batu besar
bergeming dalam banjir
kebiasaan lamaku

Sketch of rainclouds haiku

crippled mother
the black of her eyes capture
a sketch of rainclouds

dari kursi rodanya
tatapan ibu menembus mataku
sketsa awan hujan

Galactic map haiku

moonlit night
how can i find you
in galactic map?

terang bulan
di peta galaksi
kaukah itu?

Dodge the leaves haiku

september wind
dodges falling leaves
a guest at the doorstep

angin september
menyusup dedaunan jatuh
ada tamu di depan pintu

Another cicada haiku

she calls
from my backyard
vague cicada's cry

ia memanggilku
dari halaman belakang
riuh garengpung

Cicada's rain haiku

climate change
cicadas sing
about rain?

perubahan iklim
adakah garengpung
nyanyikan hujan?

Memory firefly haiku

climate change
keeping my memories of you
fireflies

perubahan iklim
kunang-kunang menjaga
kenanganku tentangmu

Cicada's cry haiku

windy afternoon
i think i knew you
cicada's cry

siang berangin
kurasa aku pernah mengenalmu
nyanyian garengpung

Empty promises tanka

turning pages
one after another
bit by bit our promises
move slightly closer
to a blank backflap

menyusur
halaman demi halaman
perlahan-lahan janji kita
bergerak menuju
sampul kosong
