the headless virgin
deep in prayer
for her dead attacker
sembah bekti kaaturaken
tumraping sucining ruh
jisim pundi kedah pun dongani?
demi bidadari
ia tertunduk mati
di depan sang dewi
This morning (11/02), St. Lidwina Church in Yogyakarta, Indonesia was attacked by a man carrying a sword during a mass. Before he was shot to death, the man managed to injure the priest and several people.
I happened to frequent this church back when I was still living in Indonesia. The priest, who is now in coma, was my teacher in elementary school.
