She lived in the forest
A shack, as she said
She slept when she wanted
Never worked

Pareo tied in the back
Fruits, flowers and birds
The taste of salt on the skin
She was beautiful, I was handsome

Under a tulle canopy
A candle, the moonlight
Our two bodies in a bubble, the heart
And fortune

We didn't talk about love
Love
What is it?
We never talked about love
True love
It didn't exist

She smoked, I kissed her
I cooked, she hugged me
She danced, I sang
In English, in Javanese

Naked under my apron I came back to life
Abandoned under the scented kisses

We didn't talk about love
Love
What is it?
We never talked about love
True love
It didn't exist

It was love, I know it
Until that day in late July
She smiled, but I guessed
The wind had turned

Frightened by the scarecrow
Of what monumental mistake
Love, the true, the beautiful
Had galloped away
