unscathed
phew! a close call wouldn't you say?
next time will be safer
and will be with greetings
-bongok-ouch but yes
i deserved it.
i've been counting the hours
just...counting
anticipating, hoping, praying
but i
know its all gonna be all right
here's to tomorrow and whenever
i wish everything were less complicated
i miss him
i do
the way he talks (jambu bergedut, hujennnn)
the way he danced to make us laugh
the way he stuck out his dentures and jiggled it
and the way he always loved to handmake stuff
he knew various ways to anyam the ketupat
shame no one ever bothered to ask him how he did them
i remember on
Malam Rayas he'd sit quietly in his chair
weaving the coconut leaves into pretty ketupats while watching telly
its been so long...
so long
sigh
