Paper boat and drizzle tanka

1/
tell me, owl
about nothingness
under this roof
a sheer monotony
of midnight drizzle

2/
love
is sacred
lightly
he sends a paper boat
down the river

Pale moon haiku

‎1/
pale moon
piercing my window glass
owl's cry

2/
dark window glass
how far is it from here
to cricket song? 

Owl's song haiku

motor engines
imitate the owl’s song
:jakarta dusk

mesin-mesin motor
meniru nyanyian burung hantu
:senja jakarta

Baby owl haiku

baby owl
lost in the rain
lost in my hand


Pakembinangun and Wedomartani, 11 March 2010

Note: Rainstorm was so heavy last Tuesday night in Pakembinangun. A baby owl was found squating on our truck's hood, cold and shivers. My colleague Saleh Abdullah tried to sooth it with his warm hands.
