dibalik jendela pesawat terbang, ada bulan purnama
bulat dan terangnya sempurna
malam ini saya mengarungi awan
yang bentuknya jelas karena pantulan cahaya bulan
bergumpal, halus, keemasan
indah
terpantul pada retina mata, menakjubkan

lalu saya tertidur
dalam mimpi saya berkereta menuju cahaya bulan
saya akan sampai disana, dibulan

turbolensi membangunkan saya tepat pukul 11.42 malam
diluar bayangan samudra masih gelap, tidak terlihat
1 jam lagi saya akan sampai di negeri cina, kata seseorang dengan pengeras suara

tidak jadi kebulan?
tak apa, berbeloklah dahulu
baru ke bulan

heart flare,
wind burn
when I hear
about Albuquerque

lightening out, a thin
blue flash and I can
feel your arm around
my shoulder and your
kiss on my forehead.
It's true I try to forget
but you still permeate
my scenarios with each
rumble, it's true

it's true
it's true.

I am afraid
that certain
people are

you
(c) Brooke Otto
No amount of toothpaste can wash away the taste of who you were last night

The words, foreign lips, and alcoholic tint of 3 a.m. hide in the corners of your smile

I do believe you think the sun rising again causes some rebirth of you and erasure of the night

But though the dark of the world may fade the dark of you may not.
one that burns too fast
  one that burns to last
I can't seem to stay warm.
Fortified vapors contained in this space
Are leaking from every crack on my face
Where they will go is determined each night
When rapid eye movement contends with my sight
And under the covers of lids and their weight
I feel myself seeping and think it too late
I've already opened the doors that were sealed
And I'm disappearing in all that's revealed
See, I'm like a shadow approaching the sun
If steps be my breaths then I'm on my last one
