Pink over Jasmine

By Iwan Simatupang


(To Sitor Situmorang)

There was blood leak
Of care over jasmine
One and only one

There is a growing jasmine
In the kiss of the sea with the desert
Far so far away

Frozen blood
Jasmine wilt
Poultice glaze

There magpie on cactus
There is a cactus in the heart
There chirping spiked

Silent and only silent
