Sukardi Wahyudi’s poem 

MATARA IS A WILD LAND

Matara is a wild land

picking the light in a full moon

incantation is left to the shadow

come here whose far away from the eyes

be a hero whose standing closer

holy heart, there are no stains

treating heart attack without difficulty

Fuh!

Fuh!

Fuh!

the bursts of water prayer rained down in all directions

cure the illnesses instantly

return back to where it came from

auspicious saying from his ancestors

God’s blessing for His creatures

Sukardi Wahyudi

Kalimantan Timur, Indonesia

( Translated by Rini Valentina,

Indonesia)
