Bend the air tanka

the heat
bends the air
that's how the nature works
you say and turn
your back on me

panas
selalu membelokkan angin
begitulah kerja hukum alam
kau berkata dan berbalik
meninggalkanku

Pauper tanka

juggling
options and possibilities
every pauper knows
the nature and logic
of economics

meniti
pilihan dan kemungkinan
si miskin tahu
logika dan hakikat
ilmu ekonomi
