The Old Table Burden (Beban Meja TUa)
The Old Table Burden
On the old table of bitter heritage
various rare stances scattered
waiting for people to collect
picked up and smoothed off the flake
and practice after spelling
But the rare stance is not alone
there's a lonely cup of coffee
with a scent that hardly left
disappeared in memory
there are cables capable of delivering disaster
while delivering usability
whether for what work, depending on the human
there are little green scissors baby fingers
brittle pencils
unable to scratch his own name
there are fragile old wires
like the old unreadable Quran
but burning it also did not have the heart
dwell there affirming existence at a time
perhaps that's how humans will be
when he is vulnerable helpless
eyesight becomes very valuable
if you need the light when dark comes
also available on the table
the light that sometimes also helpless
against the cruelty of the world
it does not shine in vain
even as darkness envelops the whole world
a speck of light is more valuable
rather than a myriad of useless words
And on an old table
there is a mountain of our memories
if he could tell
will appear 1001 wet story
about pearl-studded love and tears

Beban Meja Tua
Di meja tua warisan masa pahit
berbagai jurus langka berserakan
menunggu orang untuk mengumpulkan
memungut dan merapikan dari serpihan
dan mengamalkan setelah mengeja
Tapi jurus langka tidak sendiri
ada secangkir kopi yang kesepian
dengan aroma yang hampir tak bersisa
lenyap ditelan kenangan
ada kabel yang mampu mengantarkan petaka
sekaligus mengantarkan daya guna
entah untuk kerja apa, tergantung manusianya
ada gunting hijau semungil jemari bayi
pensil-pensil rapuh
tak mampu menggoreskan namanya sendiri
ada kabel-kabel usang yang ringkih
seperti Quran tua yang tak bisa dibaca
tapi membakarnya juga tak tega
diam di sana menandaskan keberadaan pada suatu masa
barangkali begitulah manusia kelak
ketika ia rapuh tak berdaya
pandangan mata menjadi sangat berharga
jika membutuhkan cahaya saat gelap tiba
juga tersedia di atas meja
cahaya yang terkadang juga tak berdaya
melawan kekejaman dunia
ia tidak bersinar dengan sia
bahkan ketika kegelapan menyelubungi seluruh dunia
setitik cahaya lebih berharga
daripada segudang kata tak berguna
Dan di atas meja tua
ada segunung kenangan kita
andai ia bisa bercerita
akan muncul 1001 kisah basah
tentang cinta yang bertabur mutiara dan air mata
