HOME (Excerpt)
By: Darmanto Jatman

The Male Teacher to his Monk:
The house is Omah
That house from OMG and MAH,
Om means O, meaning sky, meaning space,
manly
Mah means facing up, meaning earth, meaning
soil, female
So the house is the meeting room of the man and his rabbi
That's why I call you Semah, because we are at home
Sweep our yard clean brilliantly,
So that children dolan at home
calling the moon in song:
— While big rumbulane
As long as jembar circles
Surak surak: Hooray!
Na Na Na
On the left and right of the house there is a yard
Where do people usually plant empon?
Ginger to warm the body when you have a cold
Kencur to compress if you're battered
Turmeric so that the child that is conceived later, turmeric is slimy
Well, in the right corner of the yard there is a well
Need to clean our feet before entering the house
A sign that we are always clean and anteban
No stickiness for the loving demon jinn setan
Well
This is the view of our house
Mandala with the four saka gurus and the eight corner pillars
Above the door is inscribed the following tattoo:
Yes Maraja Jaramaya
Which means: Hey you who are plotting evil.
stop planning!
This is where we receive our guests
Relatives sometimes, the stairs teparo
Those who are noisy in the fields, fields or kings like us
