If I were a leader, I hope I can look after my staff
if I were a bureaucrat, I hope I don’t hang around having a good time and sick of people’s problem
if I were a lover, I hope I can nurture the love, the respect, and the trust
If I lose, I will admit that you are the better one
Dan langit menyeruak dalam bejana yang pantang putus
Airpun tumpah menetes beriringan bagai harapan pupus dan keterbatasan
yang terjadi dalam keniscayaan dan nestapa seorang biksu
Bumi pun pudar saat derainya bergenta dengan timbunan pokok pokok kayu tua
dan guguran daun kayu putih di jalanan.
Sydney terlihat semakin putih, dan kembara yang berpapasan di kejauhan
terlihat seperti kelopak kacapirng…
berawal dari perjalanan yang terasa
tiada ujung pangkal
dan matahari yang akan tengelam di dataran
penuh dengan stepa dan aroma
akhir musim semi
wajah mu tampak di langit
dan kulihat warna surgawi
terkesiap bulu kuduk
aku menyebut asma
jauh ke dalam kalbu
menerpa sudut yang paling dalam
kerinduan menerpa
dan keakuanpun luruh
bersama…
I fulfil my duty in the great battle as a soldier
I had a wounded heart but I must reach the border
My body is covered with blood and debris
I feel so thirsty and the pain is anguished
I gave myself to the victory of this battle
But I don’t want it back
Because when I give I…
When my eyes open wide I see things clearly in the horizon
In the haze,
it will reflect different shades
What it looks black it does not black
what it looks white is a reflection
of myself within the door of perception
When my eyes closed I resurrect memories that I forget
I can see the blood veins…
