Dan siapa memegang belati
menancap jantung menusuk kalbu
yang kian terpilin nestapanya
di hujung segara barisan pelaut
menjunjung kesida-sidaan nakhoda
yang cuba memintas sejarah esok
melimpasi nostalgia tak bertepi
tragedi kealpaan satu bangsa
yang baru sedang belajar
menjadi tuan
satu bangsa yang sedang mengejar
ekornya sendiri!

Introduction
- The Yaslehs
- Since 1968, when his first poem Sebuah Sumpah Derhaka was published in Majalah Mastika, dad has written voraciously, but at the same time is so disorganized that we could hardly keep track of what he has written. It is even worse now that he writes his poems in his phone and sms it to us his children. Believe you me, he spent a lot of money on smsing long poem to us that is sometimes lost to accidental deleting. So we, his three children - Yasleh Rita Ayu, Yasleh Hani Wati, and Yasleh Khaliff Amri - decided that enough is enough, we need to keep some kind of record of his poetry, thus the creation of this blog. This will be a cache to collect all his old poems and a safe to keep all his future ones. In the film world, mentioning my dad's name will immediately brings to mind his 9 awards winning film Dia Ibuku in which he personally won 2 - Best Director and Best Screenplay- but in the literary world the poem ikan-ikan di kaca is synonymous to him, hence the name of this blog.
