Dead fish
Dead bird
Dead plants
A pair of chopsticks
A hungry man
To sustain life
We eat death
So much death living in the blood
Giving life to flesh skin and bones
That it would be impolite
Not to answer death’s call
When it comes
——-
heard in Talentime by Yasmin Ahmad
Whisper
Let me whisper deeper
Let me whisper the prayer
Let me starts with Al-Fatihah for her
And today
She is 21 years old on Sunday
However it is no longer the day
Where you will be greeted for the whole day
However, no longer this is happening
As 28th March 2007 late evening
She left us here crying
Went to the other side of living
Waiting for the day, where God is waiting

It was yesterday,
I realised, I am not strong as what my heart say.
Again,
This heart feels the pain.

Hari ini ada dua kertas,
Yang pertama tentang masa lepas,
Kedua tentang batu yang ade bekas-bekas,
Haha, dua-dua aku tebas.
Aku buat lagi,
Sama macam semalam, tetapi itu di tengah hari,
Yang ini pagi,
Aku keluar awal lagi.
Semalam punya kertas,
Semua soalan aku cuba tuntas,
Mestilah conteng-conteng di kertas,
Akhirnya, di minit akhir ke lapan belas,
Aku keluar dari kelas.
