Diujung Musim Gugur

Darah mengental di nadi, aorta menggelora, jantung terus saja memompa.
Butiran-butiran keringat berlompatan dari pori, berhamburan, bercerabutan disela ramang.
Tenggorok digorok parau, gurau kacau terjebak payau galau, ceracau di thorax dicekam diafragma
Nadi menegang, vena membelintang, arteri menari dalam marche funebre, bukan Marionete atau Chopin, tapi Beethoven dalam trans.

kau usap mukaku, kau usap mataku, kau usap wajahku,
kau balut mukaku, ku pagut cintaku, kau hilang. Pilu..
Hanya bayang..
Hanya bayang..

HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII............................

Siapa menanam durja,
Kenapa merajam cinta?
Fana hanya kita kakanda, mungkin tak kala untuk kau senja, bisa saja hilang kau dalam sehasta, terra incognita di mana-mana, marre incognitum penuh nujum, kembara kenapa?
apa yang kau cari cinta?

Semesta hening memekak otak, mayapada ternganga menggelitik pelik, gagu didasar kalbu.

Dulu ragu dan mas que nada ku lagu, night train berucap untukku. Saat itu garuda ku nakhoda, visnu ku jelma, awan dikepalan, sebatang marlboro, dan I did it my way... horison meninggalkan bukit barisan.
Ku pandang dunia dengan dagu, ku gulung playdough, ku bentuk suka-suka. Kulemparkan canda, anakku tertawa, duniaku penuh cahaya dan penyairku menyebar sajaknya. Cinta dalam dekap, ku dengar langkah cahaya berlari melompati Himalaya, ku kejar mustafa yang menyebar bunga rampai di Aconcagua, dia melompat ke Denali, dari Elbrus Kirana melambai. Mengambang bersama embun Kerepakupai, Sadeq bercerita tentang Auyantepui. Di Palolok, Varanus Salvator tersenyum menyapa Gunter Grass. Dari balik Singgalang, Polonaises Chopin berkata, hasta la vista.

Terjerembab, mataku sembab. Sepagi ini, tak ada hangat untukku. Semalam tadi tidur tak menyentuhku. Susu hangat, roti dan mentega membuat ku dahaga. Mockingbird dari ranting Mapple berdaun saga bersahutan dengan Saloma dibalik kaca. Blue Jay berteriak meemanggil anaknya, aku diam merindukan peluk cahaya cinta mustafa. Rindu menjajah ku dan ku kalah. Kalahku parah.

dimana aku cinta?

Di awal musim gugur, ku lihat ranting yang tak mau melepas daun. Di tengah musim gugur ku pandang daun yang tak mau gugur, kuningpun enggan. Di akhir musim gugur, ku lihat semua tersungkur.

Kedinginan, ku mengadu pada dahan dan dia tertawa. Isak bergejolak di gema suaranya, gemeretak siul ranting ranting bekunya. Penuh ancam, dipandangnya cemara, nafsunya bergelora, dendam kesumatnya membara, api di pucuk-pucuknya. Sebentar saja, beku kembali semua, angin dari utara menyapa. Kedinginan, dahan memeluknya, rating menyapa "mana rantingmu, kenapa tak kau bawa?"

kenapa ku di sini cinta?

Jikalau pun tak ada jawaban karena jalan tanpa pilihan, tak ku lepas kau bayang.
andai pun tak ku rela jauh, tak ku terima lumpuh, sekarang jauh sebelum subuh, tak ku punya suluh.
Tak ku lepas kau bayang.

Memandang cemara dari sudut ini, kurindu daunku membeku seperti paku,
Muak aku berkibar menampar bayu, rindu aku tenggelam dalam pelukmu..

cinta?

Directing Development

Definition of Economic Development in the Britannica Online Encyclopedia can be resumed as a process where low-income national economies are transformed into modern industrial economies through a change in a country’s economy involving qualitative as well as quantitative improvements. This issue is always a central issue in every underdeveloped nation. Almost all government related issues, lets say politics, defense, security, are usually in any way connected to it. Reasons are clear; economic problems are the burden peoples face every day. The study in this field is enormous. It is usual that material portion of government spending is spent in this field. The problem is that some time these attention and effort consuming activity results failure to most, or at least leaves an uncovered space in the society, that is wide welfare gap. Although some time the economy grows, but social condition becomes unstable. Reason behind it is that sometimes economic development focus too much to t...

A Little Note to the Light

Hearing your sobbing is the most difficult thing darling. Please forgive me. I know it is hard for us, especially for you. You love me and I am absolutely love you too. Tonight, I try to sleep, but I can not. Questions are shouting to me in silence. There are many things that I do not understand. I can not ensure my self whether this decision, which I have taken, is the best path or not. I do not know. Although I do not understand it my self, I hope you will understand some day. All that I want to be is being the best father for you and your brother. Both of you are my light. I am blind without you. You are my air. I can not breath without you. You are my soul. I am in hell without you. Sweetheart, I love you. Do you remember the time we play with Lego-blocks? In this life, I live my life, because of my in-capabilities, in a way like you play your lego. I often do not really know what I want to build or how to build it. I just put a brick on top of another, without really understand ...

Reconciliation

Last August 11 is my 6th anniversary. Congratulation to me! Yet, sadly this is the second consecutive year I cannot celebrate it properly. This year just as last year, I was separated by distance from my wife, and I cannot pass it. Thus, besides bringing grateful feeling of the six years of blessings as man and wife, with two light of Kiran and  Sadeq in my little heaven, this anniversary also makes me blue. This year August 11 falls at Saturday. Here in Syracuse, NY it delays 11 hours after one in Indonesia. Under my unintended ignorance, I that was waiting to say "happy anniversary" to my wife forgot that it was already 11 in Indonesia. So, I had to said that after she reminded me. It was annoying. I was waiting for it, and this earth spinning mechanism tricked me. Today, I was also tricked by the time. After early breakfast at 4.00 AM in the morning, I fall asleep just after 4.40 AM. I woke up around 8.50 ...
