Tigapuluh lima tahun nanti
Bila tubuhku
Masih berbayang-bayang
Dan hembus napasku
Masih meninggalkan embun pada cermin
Akankah kau tetap menemaniku
Menikmati secangkir teh
Atau mungkin dua
Seperti sore ini
Tepat sebelum senja benar-benar datang

Sunday Morning Soccer

“Sunday Morning Soccer” by Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper.

Yesterday morning, i had a chance to get up from my ‘dying’ bed, sneaked out and watched the kids playing soccer at a field near my house. They were playing just for fun, just for the enjoyment of the game. There were no tactics, no strategies, they were just running along chasing the ball, kicking, tumbling, yelling, laughing, scoring.
They were happy and for a brief moment I was happy too.
