Him

Saya tahu bahwa esok atau tahun nanti saya kehilangan kau Dan hampir pasti akan menangis Seperti matamu satu-satunya buah yang basah melihat tidur tubuh pria tua Dahulu pernah kau buat jatuh penuh amarah  Bahkan saat tangannya masih kuat berurat Sekalipun keliru sering kau ramu Tak pelak perihal buruk saja padamu Saya terlambat paham bahwa keringat yang tak nampak bisa jadi adalah upaya ujung darah Kau hanya letih dan rindu menggapai angin Bermain dayu-dayu Menunggu waktu menarik jatuh rambut satu-satu Bersama benda-benda jerih payah Pialamu paling megah Juga kawanmu korek api Dan hembus melayang putih-putih 16 Juni, 2021

During family time, with one kretek cigarette in his left hand, we’ve sung several Keroncong songs as ...

At the pavement, a couple of teenegers was lifted up by the medical officers that wore a white uniform complete with mask, specifically attribute of medical people, strive being close to the ambulance.   The atmosphere going fast in the softly scene when I saw the bus which we were the passengers fell at a 90 degree angle, held by the steel road barrier. as far as I can remember, 28 people wanted to go home soon. Time still counting. a blood, a shouted, and cry combined as a painful orchestra on the show.

Five seconds is enough to found a man t...
