Day Unfolds in Palangkaraya

2/1/2012

16 Comments

 
Picture
five thirty am
air is heavy
skin on my back moist
light is renewing itself
in subtle tones
birds awaken us
five or six distinct sounds–
birds busy opening the new day
seven am
half sleep
the arrival of the motorbikes
like bumblebees coming
back to the nest
the maids
the teachers
the carpenters
the gardeners
each on their own motorbike
motor bike is like the family car
Ibu Endah, the school office manager
and general magic maker
rides by on her cycle with her youngest
in front of her and the two older boys
behind

our cottage is right on the central courtyard
with soccer, volley ball, and basketball courts
the compound is a series of linked
circular roads like the Olympics symbol

half sleep
shhttt, shhtt, shttt, shttt, shhtt
the sound of sweeping
Surya, our maid, has arrived
sweeping the back patio,
sweeping the leaves from the grass
sweeping is the morning ritual
in Indonesia
sweeping the night jinn away
beginning anew
comforting

rainy season
rain doesn’t sprinkle
it comes down as if the heavens
were a shower head
strong, pelting rain
dominates the sound field
pouring off roof drains
drumming the roof tiles
like a trio of drummers gone wild
with exuberance
then, suddenly gone
silence
puddles everywhere
on the precipice of flooding
but the sandy soil sucks the water down deep

other sounds
crickets at night
ubiquitous fans everywhere
dogs barking occasionally
such deep silence
that every sound is heard and felt

SMELLS….
one distinct one
smoke
several times a day
from little brush fires
set to burn the raked up leaves
and debris
also smoke
the sweet distinctive smell
of clove spiced “kretek” cigarettes
drinking? a beer every once in a while
smoking? very prevalent

FOOD
simple school lunches
a bowl of rice
with one piece of chicken or beef or tofu
and some slivered and cooked carrots and string beans
hot sambal sauce if you want
some rice chips
water

for dinner
fried rice
fish stew
delicious
tonight Indonesian salad
peanut sauce with cold potatoes
cucumber, sprouts, hardboiled egg
I’m going to ask Surya
if I can make a little recipe booklet
of her dishes
what I miss most is cheese

Now night
walking outside
in the distance
I can hear the Muslim call to prayer
softer, sweeter than Turkey
but still eeirie
crickets send their messages
in morse code of 6s, 4s, 9s
but mostly 6s
fan drones itself into white noise
and then, with a flip of a switch
is still
revealing an even more profound
quiet
as we go to bed
swaddled in the warm, damp air

My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.

I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.

I was having Herpes Simplex Virus then i came across a review of people saying that they got treated from Herpes Simplex Virus by Dr Voke., So i gave a try by contacting him through his email and explain my problem to him. He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what is happening after two weeks the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS that was in my body got vanished . so if you are also heart broken by any deadly diseases like HERPES HIV, shingles,low sperm count or bringing back your ex lover, this great man is extremely the best in which I have seen and applauds and if you also need a help, you can also email him via email (doctorvoke@gmail.com)

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/

A big thanks from Marie Levi to DR ISIKOLO for helping me to restore my broken home. Inconsistency has been the order of the day in my home and marriage. My husband has had a hell of a problem and torn on my flesh ever since we started having too many misunderstandings. Some days, he just left and never returned until its past weeks. I was devastated and tried all I could to fix the problems but didn't succeed. I had to search out for help and I was directed by a friend to contact DR ISIKOLO which I did. I never knew it would be possible because the problems had lingered for two whole years. DR ISIKOLO assured me and only told me to trust him and believe in having my desires granted. He fixed my marriage with his powerful love reunion bond and my home is great again and my husband is with me never to leave anymore. Contact him too and believe he can help you because he has no bad records. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or read more about Dr Isikolo via his website and contact him via: (https://isikolotemple.com)

My husband left me and my son and never returned till DR ISIKOLO intervened. My story does not differ from others who have taken their time to share information about him to the world. I had marital issues with my husband which made him leave me and traveled to another city. At some point i was depressed and got help from nowhere till i came in contact with Dr Isikolo who helped me. He restored the love and connection between me and my partner and i got him back after 2 days as he promised. Just like everyone else talking about him, I am here to tell good of him and thank him for bringing joy to my life once again. He won't fail if you give him a try to help you as well. Just text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@ gmail.com or review his website: (https://isikolotemple.com)
