A Fiction

It was a perfect day to standing alone in the rain, watching you from the window You saw and asked me to leave But I should be there It was a perfect scenery to help you in the sunny day, asking me to take photograph from behind You posed as much you like Because one is never enough It was such a breath moment we've made, telling you a fiction while you said it was the truth And contemplated repeatedly any parts of nothing I will imagine Touching you while missing you completely Though you are delusion

A Hidden Renewable Energy

Farmers cultivated Kaliandra seeds At noon, while the sun shines twice as hot and stinging. We were accompanied by one farmer group's member, named Ismail, to visit the Kaliandra plantation area in Guliling Village, Kalukku District, Mamuju. It is not easy to get into the location due to hilly terrain and road conditions. We had to park vehicle elsewhere, approximately 500 meters nearby spot area, then continue to walk on foot. Shortly after walking as far as 2 kilometers, we arrived at the corner of farm entrance. There was marker board as wide as 3x1 meter that written Kaliandra plantation on the gate.

Rindu Tak Harus Menemukan

Kasihan! Merindukan, tapi tak sampai menemukan. Ungkapan tentang semua akan indah pada waktunya sepertinya pas jika dilekatkan pada sosoknya. Jumat malam. Kawasan Dayeuh Kolot, Bandung, tampak sepi. Di kejauhan hanya terdengar suara kodok dan gemercik gerimis malas yang berjatuhan pelan. Sementara itu, MR, yang menolak untuk disebutkan nama aslinya, bergegas membuat kopi.
