Short Note Conversation (Notasi Singkat Percakapan, English Version)

For V

:
measure the distance between
tomorrow and yesterday,
equals guessing
look at you in the shade.
many stops
to get to that eye

create a boundary between
shadow and body,
directly proportional to
painting your venus face.
flying to a foreign universe.

let the weather translate
which time to make love
when to split up,
wretched for them
who cursed loneliness
misfortune and despair
to the sky

today we set up a small space
in the corners of the city
poor people
so that later,
as a stopover
from unrest
their past
