• The Squeaking Fan

  After the laughter and the clinking glasses,
  I stand by the window, watching,
  The broom dances across the scattered leaves.

  A fan creaks, a whisper in the silence,
  The night holds its breath,

  I fold the cord,
  gentle, deliberate,
  finding grace
  in what's broken.

  meninggalkan jejak di aspal basah

  sesekali aku rindu pada ikatan
  seperti ranting patah yang menunggu
  untuk dipeluk kembali oleh pohon
  tapi ada keindahan …
