Heatwave haiku

1/
heatwave--
if only I could comprehend
mother's grief

2/
she loosens
her grip on our oath
lingering heat

3/
slightly it goes
my laundry line down
the heatwave

Tanka tepian hujan 2

:Chandra Prijosusilo

1/
gerimis pagi
membanjiri sarang burung
kosong dan dingin
terasa sungguh ranjang ini
terlalu besar untukku

morning drizzle
taking over the bird nest
cold and left out
i eventually realized
this bed too big for one

2/
terjaga semalam
oleh suara gerimis
kusimak seksama
keluh dan gelisahnya yang
tak terucap, tak tertulis

woke up last night
to the sound of light rain
i was all ears
to her griefs and sorrow
unspoken, unwritten

Sheer loneliness haiku triplet

‎1/
lonely breakfast
a swan song
after the main dish

makan sahur
hidangan terakhir dengan
nyanyian angsa

2/
black coffee
the last sip of
solitude

kopi pahit
sesap terakhir
kesunyian

3/
sheer loneliness
the sediment in his cup
unspoken grief

sepi yang sangat
keluh tertahan mengendap
di dasar cangkir
