seeking greener grass

part of my history

Friday, November 30, 2001

it has been a hectic one and half week. i was back in bogor and went to jakarta every now and then. my mailbox was full and seems like i have been in a long holiday. i type a letter to a friend it goes like this:



apa kabarmu kawan? hari-harimu baikkah atau burukkah? sesungguhnya mereka nyaris sama, terkadang

aku menyadari itu, terkadang lagi aku lupa dan terlarut. saat ini aku hanya ingin membiarkan

jariku menari-nari membuat beberapa catatan. entah penting entah lenting aku tak tahu, aku hanya

ingin menulis sesuatu. untuk kau mengerti ataupun tidak.



aku sudah menjejakkan lagi tanah ini. pulau jawa kata mereka tapi bagiku tanah itu sama, tak bernama

dan tak berasal. bukankah kita juga dari tanah ini. tanah yang berwarna merah ini, begitu pekat begitu

lekat seperti bau darah. darah kita dan juga darah-darah mereka. semuanya merah. aku tak ingat sejak

kapan aku menjadi begitu menyukai warna merah...



aku rindu bunyi angin semilir yang mencumbu daun-daun pepohonan begitu rupa. ini sore hari, aku terbang

dengan burung-burung. kotaku ini tidak banyak berubah kawan, seruku dari secercah secerah potongan langit

sore ini. mungkin kau bertanya-tanya kemana diriku menghilang walau hanya baru seminggu-dua minggu. aku

sedang lepas kawan, entah melepas, dilepas atau terlepaskan. yang kutahu hanya aku lepas. tubuhku sejenak

ringan, walau kepalaku tiba-tiba menjadi berat.



beberapa hari terakhir badanku tak enak. terbatuk-batuk tanggung. kering. namun terkadang tenggorakanku

mengeluarkan cairan-cairan hijau. lengket dan tak berbau. seperti nanah setengah matang. mungkin aku sakit,

mungkin saja aku tahu kepalaku memang sakit. badanku kadang-kadang aku merasa tak begitu mengenalnya.



badanku sebenarnya seperti haus. lidahku seperti ingin menari-nari di antara mulut-mulut dan kerongkongan,

inikah birahi? tidak desahku, ini perayaan. lihat saja bekas-bekas pagutan itu yang sudah kutinggalkan. sejenak

aku melihat kedepan, ketika aku menoleh tak ada pagutan yang kulihat hanya luka. luka yang kubuat, yang akan dan

yang sudah. inikah goresan? tidak belaiku, ini percintaan. memang aku tidak lajang, tetapi jalang. itu jawabku

di setiap akhir persetubuhan.



kawan, aku masih ingin hilang...




hmm...dunno just feel like writing something like that. i went to ayu utami's - larung discussion, i went there with agung and met alfred there. it went allright i guess, though the context of the book compare with arundhati's roy book was rather irrelevant. the book larung was enjoyable in the first section, the second chapter kinda lost its grip.

i miss when you say my name like that......like that......

"dee..."u said it again and again....

or the way you eyes stare at me, far away or even so close that i can feel your soul looking at mine...

your washed denim, with a small hole near the knee

and when we sit beside each other i always poke my finger there, playing around and touched your skin...

even your old torn sandals, the color was brown and it's so cute to me when you slowly bend down and slip it on into your feet...

dan mudah terbawa arus perasaan,

orangnya rapuh dalam perasaan dan labil"

Soneta LXVI

Pablo Neruda



Aku tidak mencintaimu kecuali karena aku mencintaimu;

aku pergi dari mencintaimu menjadi tidak mencintaimu,

dari menunggu menjadi tidak menunggu dirimu

hatiku berjalan dari dingin menjadi berapi.



Aku mencintaimu hanya karena kamulah yang aku cinta;

aku membencimu tanpa henti,

dan membencimu bertekuk kepadamu

dan besarnya cintaku yang berubah untukmu adalah bila aku tidak mencintaimu tetapi mencintaimu dengan buta.



Mungkin cahaya bulan Januari akan memamah hatiku dengan sinar kejamnya,

mencuri kunciku pada ketenangan sejati.



Dalam bagian cerita ini hanya akulah yang mati, hanya satu-satunya,

dan aku akan mati karena cinta karena aku mencintaimu.

karena aku mencintaimu, cintaku, dalam api dan dalam darah.



-terjemahanku....kata-kataku yang ingin kusampaikan.....mungkin.........

Saturday, November 10, 2001

why are we like this?

what do you want?

downloading songs, iwan fals, brian mcknight, propagandi, the cure.....hmm...such a range huh?

i cannot define happiness and sadness again, i need a new word...a new definition

i suppose to save money but NOT today, spend it on books again. the penguin 60's series classics, imagine 60 classic books in a complete row (plus the box), a whole splendid collection. the book size was in the size of a pocket book. from nietzche to tolstoy, from wilde to plato but hell it wasn't expensive, it's secondhand. how can i resist this splendid treasure?? and hear again, i found solzhenityzn - first circle. i've been looking for it for a long time, man, i can't help myself. then the good part was, the counter chick gave me the first circle free!! hahaha, the total of the series was $55. it was hell good.



emm...just one problem, i had to redo my packing a bit:P

because you are my very roses

the redest temptation

i can kiss you

i can feel every single leaf of you

but to hold you i always wept...

karena kamu adalah mawarku

yang begitu merah menggoda

aku bisa menciummu

aku bisa merasakan helai-helaimu

tetapi untuk memegangmu aku selalu meringis

pssttt, take a peek people

and it's so sad but it's true

wings that mean to be broken

it was ours once

it was ours once

before it had been blown with wind

trap into a sea of sand

i still kiss you my oase in an empty desert

i still found you even with all the fog around me

it's so sad but it's true...

*puyeng*

the painted voice

it gave you adrenalin rush

from your bottom toes

to the tips of your hair



it wasn't paint

it was feelingless

a restlessness of one

i see myself killing in fondness

wrap into the bottom of my drawer

myself was killed again the next morning

in a great thunder

and an unknown storm



flesh was suppose to bleed

heart was as silent as it is

even in its cries



the hell with what i feel right now

i see the spoon

revolving in a plate

i see faces

revolving in hunger

i lost my apetite

i don't understand why am i still doing here? *argh*

i hate this feeling

sucky!

the morning assembly yesterday was quiet magnificent, it turn out to be one of the best assembly ever. i can't believe how we put this show all together, i'll put some pictures up later in my site on my graduation day. my friend ben was shocking, he dress up as a drag queen though i must admit he look like a sexy drag *mwahahah*:D



the graduation nite in murdoch university auditorium was also fine. people is hugging here and there, yes farewell. though 3/4 of the people i still meet at the beach late after. stay at the beach till 2 AM. it was pretty windy and cold, though the full moon shine perfectly. within the star and the waves beyond reach, last time we're together. beforehand though we nearly got caught by the cops, hehehe, reminds me with "the fast and furious".



goodbye friends, it have been a long 3 years. thank you for everything.

"ordinary people born with the capability to make extraordinary things" last night principal addressing this message to the 2001 graduates.
