CHASING RAINBOW

your tracks disappeared at Intersection

latitude and longitude that failed

mapped

more to get in run more

vanished the shadow

becoming increasingly vociferous forgotten

colors

lie around

piece of liver stunned

I want to touch your round

the cavity dream

the days when weak

strike by deserted

but the absolute distance separating

fate had been drawn with a definite

second hand

your tracks disappeared, but the language of longing

eternal in the expression

between being and not

your coming

illusion

alone ....

KI DALANG*

 

 what  about skit do you

play the mastermind?

awaken the giant knight and mysticism

blencong* ray

color

and screams gending* mark dispute

: the throne is still a goal

even when thousands of lives fell

stake

life and death as if the dice is thrown

to a gambling table

truth was shaking

which looked at the heart shadow is fear

defeat and victory just two fraudsters

with opposite faces

fanged teeth, grinning and

worry

: where is the true?

wise nan generous figure

when plugged mountains

on the verge of the morning

were flashed on a pale color

just quiet ....

MY ANGEL

:

G E I S H A

: Nitta Sayuri San

hand back slash wounds

graceful arm, as blood red stain

lipstick and early evening damned

just love stains on

farrago kimono

in late autumn

cruel neglect sakura petals

nan cold calling roll on

vibrating tone samisen

also said only the weak origami art

lying on the tatami

"I became the letter": vowels and consonants

seemed willing bride

for divorce in sentence final

without appointments and celebrations

hand was wielding samurai

chop dinner

it opens up the tired feet

cahya miss a thousand years in the sun

inviting ran passed away on

true love
