Heaven at the Top of the Pine Tree |



The princess greeted with a sour face
the joy had long gone
at the beginning of the year that should have been beautiful
because of a portrait she didn't want
crossed the porch of a friend
she gave a blood mark on the photo
although everyone didn't see the blood trail

The door opened without a red carpet
maybe the wound was still wet
had swallowed the carpet with all the colors
only the black carpet remained
that was also seen from the look in your eyes

At 331 pine branches I counted the steps
the 83rd beat started stiffly
maybe half forced
although finally it went up too
dancing rhythmically as usual
but went down before the hand touched the top
tiredness became a disaster
so that the top looked further away
further and further away

The next beat came too
even once in a different way
dancing without an eagle soaring in the sky
and you admitted that it was the first time that
embracing heaven at the top of the pine tree
until you fell asleep afterwards
waiting for the next heaven to arrive

Surga di Pucuk Cemara

Sang putri menyambut dengan muka masam
keriangan sudah lama pergi
di awal tahun yang harusnya indah
sebab sebuah potret yang tidak dikendakinya
melintasi beranda seorang sahabat
ia memberi tanda darah pada foto itu
meski semua orang tidak melihat jejak darah

Pintu terbuka tanpa karpet merah
mungkin luka masih basah
sudah menelan karpet seluruh warna
hanya karpet hitam tersisa
itu pun terlihat dari sorot matamu

Pada 331 tangkai cemara aku menghitung langkah
hentakan ke-83 dimulai dengan kaku
mungkin setengah memaksa
walau akhirnya ke atas jua
menari dengan ritmis seperti biasa
tapi turun dengan sebelum tangan menyentuh pucuk
lelah menjadi petaka
sehingga pucuk terlihat kian menjauh
kian menjauh

Hentakan berikutnya sampai jua
bahkan satu kali dengan cara berbeda
menari tanpa elang yang menjulang langit
dan kau mengaku baru pertama begitu
merengkuh surga di pucuk cemara
sampai lelap setelahnya
menunggu surga berikutny tiba
