New song

After parsing the words that are created
or the orderly word, we agree to plant flowers

Thou hast started the tone
first after wetting the funnel with a story
being upright had been a long dream
grow in darkness and silence
and we never bothered looking for names
for every fragrant flower

Even when the roots are watered forget
the florets scented note by note
so the garden for the day to begin

You ever flush the pistil head
with a speck of vinegar
but the wound didn't open up
we accumulate meaning in every note
be a new song
although sometimes it's hard to sing

Lhokseumawe, end of 2018

Lagu Baru

Setelah mengurai kata yang tercipta
atau kata yang tertata, kita sepakat menanam bunga

Engkau telah memulai nada
pertama seusai membasahi corong dengan cerita
tegak sudah impian lama
tumbuh dalam kelam dan kesunyian
dan kita tak pernah repot mencari nama
bagi setiap harum kuntumnya

Bahkan ketika akar tersiram lupa
kuntum mewangi nada demi nada
jadi taman bagi hari bermula

Pernah kau siram kepala putik
dengan setitik cuka
tapi luka tak sampai menganga
kita menimbun makna di setiap nada
menjadi lagu baru
walau terkadang sulit mendendangkannya

Lhokseumawe, akhir 2018
