Flowery Pain

(personal collection: Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta, 2009)

Flowery pain

Flowery pain in my heart

Piercing into my blood artery

All birds are flying away

And you want me alone

Pricking pain and hurt on me

But you want my harvest

To keep the honey and sugar

Still puncturing me with your flowers

The flowers of pain

It is a meadow of pain you give me

Impaling my blood

Crowning my head

Bonding my ankles

Flowery pain in my heart

A bed of your suspicion

Uncaring

You are knocking me off

You are no different

than the devils in the twilight

Hovering my life

Embracing me with the pricky, flowery pain

I’ll do it my way!

My revelation!
