Junior Quotes

“tak ada yang lebih tabah
dari hujan bulan Juni
dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
kepada pohon berbunga itu

tak ada yang lebih bijak
dari hujan bulan Juni
dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya
yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

diserap akar pohon bunga itu”

“I don’t know. I think she might.” He smiles. “I hope she does.””
― Kendra Blake
