i miss watching “happy tree friends” with you
i’m at this end of the world, you’re at another –
imagine how the thousands of miles become nothing but
laughter

is it in the silently moving lips of your dearest ones, or in the deafening laughter of strangers? when they are running away from you as you are leaving them?

“di sini matahari bisa dinikmati,” katamu sambil menyeruput eiskaffee dari gelas tinggi.
ya,
kataku dalam hati. sambil mencoba menemukan bola matamu di balik lensa
hitam pekat, hari meleleh bersama es krim yang baur dengan
kopi.
di sini,
aku pelan-pelan mati.

kamu cuma rentetan kata—

melingkar manis di leher

juga mencekik
