kasihan, kelopak merah nasibnya sama lagi

dia yang tadinya tidur kemudian ditarik menari, 

dirayu angin

angin dengan bau yang membuat candu

bau matahari

bau hujan

bau bumi

bau rayuan

bau fana

bau tanah

sudah ditanah ditiup lagi

menghempas awan

kemudian jatuh

iya, begitu saja

holly golightly

You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? 
You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, 
"Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." 
You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. 
You built it yourself.  And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. 
Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.

---Paul Varjak to Holly Golightly
