Tremor and poetry book tanka

I've learned about
the meaning of being alone
if only you're here
you'd know my new friends
a tremor and a poetry book

sudah kupelajari
arti hidup menyendiri
jika kau ada
kenalilah teman-teman baruku
tremor dan buku puisi

1/
how boring it is
to be here in G-ward
i make myself busy
with watching baby birds
learning to fly

sungguh membosankan
tinggal di klinik jompo
aku menyibukkan diri
memperhatikan anak-anak burung
belajar terbang

2/
same meal
same taste
dear chef,
does your recipe
read like a poetry?

menu yang sama
citarasa yang sama
wahai juru masak
apakah resepmu terbaca
seperti puisi?

3/
please, don't hesitate
to reach me
you spend too much time
trickling down thru'
the infuse line

jangan ragu
untuk menyentuhku
kau habiskan terlalu banyak waktu
menetes, mengalir lewat
selang infus

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
