Harry's haiku*

troubled life
show me how to safe myself
will you, Harry?

hidup sulit
ajari aku cara untuk lepas
maukah, Harry?

*A homage to Harry Houdini. Today is his 137th birthday.

Justified killing tanka

my breakfast milk
spills along microscopic trail
are you justified
to take live to save
live

susu sarapanku
melimpah sepanjang jejak renik
bolehkah
membunuh untuk
menyelamatkan nyawa

Leaving hometown haiku

leaving hometown
be safe, says my mother
on her wheelchair

keberangkatan
jaga dirimu, kata ibu
dari kursi roda
