Tigapuluh Lima

“The cups of happiness”
Alf Sukatmo. 2015
Pencil on paper

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

Intermission

"I can see you" Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper. 2014

“I can see you” Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper. 2014

I am half deaf
Diving too fast
Or too deep
I don't mind
I won't listen anyway

I am half mad
To let you in so fast
Or to let you go weep
I don't know
Sanity have betrayed me anyway

I am half blind
Too long watching a bright light
Or dwelling in obscure reality
I don't care
I don't see what the others see about you

Anyway..

 
Thank you for the beautiful sight seeing this afternoon.
What a lovely intermission
