Family retreat haiku

family retreat
more time and space
to weave a web

vila keluarga
lebih banyak ruangwaktu untuk
memintal jaring

Wheelchair haiku

time standstill
a wet floor caution cornering
her wheelchair

waktu berhenti
kursi rodanya terpojok
lantai licin basah

At the boulevard tanka

dawn returns
to boulevard seeing
those pines collecting the dews
where do you head for
only time will tell

pagi selalu ingin kembali
ke bulevar menyaksikan embun
berkumpul pada pucuk-pucuk pinus
ke mana kau menuju
biar kutunggu dua tiga windu

Bitter stories tanka

days crawl away
good times and bad times
wrinkle on my skin
a story too much to tell
too sore to recall
