Burung Cantik



they say
you cannot make a silk purse
out of a sow's ear

years ago
a friend gave me
a beautiful bird
made out of a pineapple

sometimes it is surprising
what can be fashioned
from the seemingly impossible

    Delightful! I should say that I also like the way you make something out of nothing with your words day by day and week by week.

    Beautiful indeed! (Did it come from Indonesia? I imagine your friend saying the words of the title when giving it to you.)
