Danau Toba Dream

Danau Toba Dream

the lake shushes us to sleep
a sweet sloppy sighing lullaby

the whole black-blue basin jiggles
while this big world spins

another dark night streaked with
columns of staccato horizontal
dock- and boat-lines

and the unseen air is as heavy
with smoke and water
as a Varanasi ghat

mimpi indah, Samosir
