Longer alley haiku

feels much longer now
the alley I am walking on in
my late dad's slipper

makin terasa panjang
lorong yang kususuri dengan sandal
mendiang bapakku

Wheelchair haiku

time standstill
a wet floor caution cornering
her wheelchair

waktu berhenti
kursi rodanya terpojok
lantai licin basah

Highschool reunion haiku

highschool reunion
everybody makes fun of
our grey hair

reuni sma
kami semua saling meledek
kepala ubanan

Drifting thoughts tanka

all those thoughts
drifting high with the clouds
here, you and i
holding each other by the hand
going nowhere

semua fikiran itu
berkelana bersama awan gemawan
di sini, kau dan aku
saling berpegangan tangan
tak bisa ke manapun

No way home haiga

Lost kite tanka

a lost kite
stuck on top of a telephone pole
here I am sitting
watching and waiting
for your long distance call

layangan putus
tersangkut di tiang telepon
di sini aku duduk
melihat dan menunggu
interlokal darimu

Fat in the seat tanka

so slowly
the ashes fall from the sky
he grows fat
in waiting for
another clouds

begitu pelan
hujan abu turun dari langit
dia makin gemuk
dengan hanya menunggu
awan terbentuk

Grey poem haiku

rain of ashes
a poem reads
all grey

hujan abu
sebuah puisi
berwarna kelabu

A bucket of ashes haiku

evacuation camp
a plastic bucket
collecting ashes

kamp pengungsi
sebuah ember plastik
menampung debu

New coat haiku

rain of ashes
a wild cat
got new coat

hujan abu
seekor kucing liar
berganti bulu
