kepada yang Maha Esa / kepada Al-Khaliq
yang mencipta adam dan Hawa
tanah dan tulang rusuk
satu merantai, satu yang dirantai
aku menulis, aku hanya mampu menulis
ini cara aku melawan
tidak mampu berbicara kata-kata, mulut bagai dirantai
tidak mampu/ atau tidak boleh
kita dilahirkan umpama iblis, bagai mahkluk yang membawa dosa
kepada lelaki-lelaki
yang fikir mereka Nabi
yang mahu menjadi Tuhan
badanmu dosa /seluruh kewujudan kau dosa/jangan menggoda
wahai cik abang tercinta, lidah setajam pisau
haruskah aku buka selendang ini dikepalaku
yang menyembunyikan rambut aku. rambut yang
menakutkan kau. balut
nah, guna selendang ini. tutup mulutmu
tutup matamu, nescaya kau tidak akan lihat dosa lagi
aku sujud, mengucap nawaitu
bahu terasa berat
seperti memikul rasa sakit ibuku
Ibu. Hawa. Wanita.
syurga di tapak kakimu tetapi kau dipanggil
penghuni neraka
neraka kerana mulutmu, kerana kau tidak takut hidup
tapi,
kalau neraka tiada patriaki,
bukankah itu syurga?

Act IV — Adaptation
When I was six, my grandfather brought me to the beach. I remember the waves being strong and a huge wave crashed over tiny me and it felt like I was being pulled into the sea.
I felt his hands on my shoulders as if pulling me away. Up till today, I still remember what he said to me.
Jaga-jaga, laut tengah marah. Be careful, the sea is angry.
Angry. Furious. Every wave crashed upon the shore…
Suaraku Bukan Dosamu
salam. welcome
peace be upon you. we seek not the ignorant [al-Qasas 28:55]
[one: him or Him?]
siapa nama kamu? what do you live for? who do you love?/ sometimes, we confuse submission for love. sayang, do you think of him? or Him? / but why can’t it be Her? Or Them? / shhh, that’s blasphemy
[two: TV killed the TV3 Malay star ]
hari ini kau datang riang / tersenyum buatku senang
kau hias dirimu / membuat hati bertambah saying
tapi wajahmu semalam muram /mengapa dewi mengapa
mungkinkah aku bersalah/cubalah dewi katakan
the protagonist is often fair and covers…
