Enough, she said tanka

1/

enough, she said

I stop pouring tea 

into the cup 

my ex used to sip from 

before it's cold

2/

so slowly

it runs before me

o river, river

it's the trembles in her hands

that wash me all over

First monday haiku

first monday
a fast train run past
card houses

No more denial tanka

too long
i've been running away
now no more denial
i surrender to
the morning light

terlalu lama
mencoba menjauh
tak lagi membantah
kini aku takluk
pada kilau fajar

Shallow water tanka

washing my feet
after this long walk
in shallow water
the memory of you
runs downstream

membasuh kakiku
setelah perjalanan ini
di sungai kecil
kenangan tentangmu
larut dalam arus
