bisu

ingin kuraup jiwamu

kupintal bersama waktu

biar malam tak menggerutu

besok berbeda

tergulung kita

di samudra mati rasa

bisu

memeluk rindu

(8 April 2008)

jika jarak bisa digulung

Jika jarak bisa digulung seperti senar layang-layang

kutarik kau biar kering sudah darah itu terbawa burung jalak 

entah kemana mungkin ke penantian sudut mimpi.

Mana memar yang lukai hatimu.

Di sini jantungku sesak menghitung helai rambut sang malam serta bintang di sapuan angkasa.

Ini mimpi episode sembilan sembari menyulam regangan waktu berserakan 

bersama kepiting penenung yang berjalan gontai ke arah pantai.

Kuselipkan napas di kantung waktumu seraya memandangi 

jarum berdetak menguap pagi pergi.

Bentangkan jadi selimut malam bersulur biru dimana engkau terpejam

dalam hitam.

Kita belum bisa berkata

belum sekarang atau mungkin tidak akan.

Jika jarak bisa digulung akan kutarik kau dari hutan pinus yang

sesatkan arti jelaga.

Kukeringkan danau agar engkau tak lagi wajib bercermin 

dan kura-kura enggan menyapihmu dalam dahaga. 

Kubebaskan dirimu tanpa kata-kata tanpa ajian membelah bianglala.

Hanya pelukan dari jemari berpeluh yang rindu airmatamu dan kamu 

serta kata maaf yang dulu diajarkan orangtua kita tanpa lekukan ombak seperti salah satu lukisan hitam-putihmu.

Begitu sederhana, begitu saja.

old poems

i feel like posting some of my old poems

so here it goes

Building Block

I found this cute cute cute leather bag pieces on the net. Building Block is a multi-medium design project based in Los Angeles, initiated in Tokyo by sisters Kimberly & Nancy Wu. Its focus moves freely in between luxury and industrial design where utilitarian materials and processes translate into minimalist forms. With the intent of magnifying essentials and editing out excess, Building Block finds continual inspiration in returning back to square one. Don't you love Japanese's designers? www.building--block.com 
 

i miss the ocean just fine. really.

my cool holiday in Aceh was over. two months ago, as a matter of fact. the inn where i stayed is awesome called iboih inn. iboih is the name of the village in weh island/ Sabang, located on the tip of Sumatra. that was the spot for Indonesia's kilometer zero. sea wind, sun light, cheap food, splashing water, clear ocean and days of fun dive. i sure gonna be back to this place again. really.

Gendis and Budi Prewed Shoots

To my friend and business partner, Gendis and her (now) husband, Budi. The photos are so cute. I cant stop using that big trees on the park as background setting. Beautiful. The house setting was taken in Gendis' grandparents house in Bandung. A big Dutch-colonial-look house with big windows, vintage furniture, vintage paintings. I'm glad they loved this photos. Happy wedding you two :)

#3 Russia's Summer Breeze: St. Petersburg

And of course my last Russia's travelogue spot was this beautiful city. Only two days but I'm a happy girl. Plus, I watched Swan Lake ballet show (yes, my friends were about to kill me for this!!). The ticket price was half third Bolshoi, but the performance was amazing. Encore!
