I am looking for a poem that mentions Jakarta/Batavia, werewolves as sons and teacups.

I read it years ago, while I was living in Jakarta. I am trying to find it and am coming up blank. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Could it have been something by Zeffry Alkatiri?

"His poetic genius was established with his volume of poems Dari Batavia sampai Jakarta, 1619-1999 for which he received the prize for the best Indonesian volume of poetry 1998-2000’. Other publications are Manusia, Mitos, dan Mitologi (1998), Pintu, Etalase, Batavia Centrum (collected poetry, 1998), and Konflik Nilai dalam Sejarah Perkembangan Sastra Rusia."

Also, this page summarizes some of the poems in the book. Perhaps something will sound familiar?
