Flamboyant Collapses

By August Suhardono

The magnificent return to his home and wait there
days are getting shorter dry oasis desert of Sirte

Like a desert fox in the bushes to sneak cryptic
unconscious demons continue to seek people's struggle endlessly

A miserable flamboyant, splendor, and forget the time unfriendly
authority inviting forget, the low-flying eagle wings no longer

Khadaffy, farewell flamboyant!

Midwinter

By Tomas Tranströmer

A blue light
radiates from my clothing.
Midwinter.
Clattering tambourines of ice.
I close my eyes.
There is a silent world
there is a crack
where the dead
are smuggled across the border.

At the Tip of the Tongue

By Ramoun Apta

at the tip of the tongue there is a sentence
would manifests a language

but the new sentence, still too naive
felt not enough age for brings delivery of meaning

sentence must be returned to the uvula
and nurtured to be more mature joke

Night Elegy

By Wild Dove

Sky,
when was a sense of despair without cutting into time?

When you find the wind to speak on the shutters down,
I was waiting for a touch of your present

Mock me to the dusk numbers
I feel your present

Shadow,
make love in the array of my ego
Don’t strip me in the open dark taste

I gave up on the wides chest
Let me love you through the steps doings,
because it can only give ran with seeds embedded reins

I love you,
lustful
thousands of taste,
millions rhythm

Struggle in my taste

Long Drought

By Alex Putra Siosar

Rain had been not down to the water
The well dry give deep echoes
However, fields full of water in turmoil
Toad frog was happily singing
Eels dancing with dance drunk

Rice looks to soft bow

Waiting for the sky struck the heart water tidal
Waiting for burning drought withered
Be a lantern in the chaos page

Drought is still a long ...
