yellow vision for Shilvia DN:

1 /
the tongue of the tongue fire
drought is far away
you rained the rain
through your body transformed
into stratus
a hundred griefs have fallen
melting into the field,
the father's chest where you came home

2 /
your adventurous male love is hoarse
from the height of the building
as high as anything, no less on the wind
cold season
make eyes into glass
because there is a past
that you want to solve

3 /
you call mom,
memories of the kitchen and courtyard
childhood behavior is told a story of age
because adult learning panting
the more your breasts grow,
the wider the secret is accommodated

4 /
you jerked
roots of the trees
replace the crack on the faint wall--
plant again another shrub
after a thousand days misery

Pelajaran Melupakan

yellow vision for Shilvia DN:

1/
dekap api yang melidah
kemarau sudah jauh
kau turunkan hujan
lewat tubuhmu yang menjelma
sebentang stratus
seratus kedukaan t'lah gugur
lebur ke tanah lapang,
selapang dada ayah tempatmu pulang

2/
cinta lelaki tualang kau serak
dari ketinggian gedung
setinggi apapun, tak kalah pada angin
musim kegigilan
bikin mata terkaca
sebab ada masa lalu
yang ingin kau pecahkan

3/
kau panggil ibu,
kenangan dapur dan halaman
laku kanak-kanak didongengi kisah se-usia
karena dewasa belajar terengah
makin tumbuh dadamu,
semakin luas rahasia tertampung

4/
kau tersentak
akar dari pepohonan
gantikan retak pada dinding samar--
tanamkan lagi satu perdu
usai seribu hari sangsai
