Rain in June

By Evi Manalu

only now I get to make sense of the rain,
talking similar the wind greeted

this heat is too long
far from sign of going to rain

Rain ... did you say over there
It was me who raining you with longing

rain

By Cut Dini Desita

:for H

Suddenly I swept away, all sense of soluble
And must fold the dream into your pocket

on the front porch we plan farewell
while waiting for the rainy season slowly asleep

while the rain has not yet stopped
let's stay and complete our pending poetry

always broke every time I grasp

Lost

By Sitok Srengenge

today
a wiseman
write a freedom lyrics
that he dreamed yesterday

tomorrow morning
he will sing
a freedom lyrics
that he wrote today

day after tomorrow
he wanted to paint freedom
which he sang the morning
that he wrote today
that he dreamed yesterday

The next day
he did not paint
not sing
do not write
even
not daydream

he lost
until
today
