IN MAY

how are you? do you still remember the riots decades ago, in the noisy month of may. have you pondered what happened and what is behind it all?

we spell history, slowly, uploading word for word, until soft in the mouth. or we are in a hurry to forget.

time goes by, maybe we repeat the same mistakes, over and over again. repeated promises, repeatedly also broken.

may, may, may, puff of smoke, puff of fire. and we rush to forget it all.

DI BULAN MEI

apakabar? apakah engkau masih mengingat huru hara puluhan tahun lalu, di bulan mei yang gaduh. apakah engkau telah merenungkan apa yang terjadi dan apa yang ada di balik itu semua?

kita mengeja sejarah, perlahan-lahan, mengungah kata demi kata, hingga lembut di mulut. atau kita tergesa melupa.

waktu terus berlalu, mungkin kita mengulang kesalahan yang sama, berulang-ulang. berulang berjanji, berulang juga diingkari.

mei, mei, mei, kepul asap, kepul api. dan kita tergesa melupa itu semua.
