Maria Sudibyo Poems

The parody, the comic
The irony, the slapstick 
The comedy, the joke
There are many names of humor
...

Dream a dream
Dream a wonderful dream
If it is not beautiful
What's the use to dream?
...

There is a war everywhere
There is a war every single corner
There is a war in the back of every door
Sometimes it only leaves scratch
...

Whether beautiful, whether painful
Whether happily ever after, whether full of irony
By force, or by the time
All should end someday
...

should I come home to the sea
may I follow the jaguar
climbing alone snow and high mountain
and rest there
...

The day I hate rice
Is several rare day in a year
When I don't eat rice
I don't want to eat rice
...

Counting days, counting says
Waking up in morning as usual
Counting days, counting rays
Taking strength as much as I can
...

The sky is bright
But it's raining
The sun is high
But flood is on the road
...

It's all wet, wet, wet
rainy and wet
cold and wet
hungry and wet
...
