Seorang di bawah Pohon Meminta Selembar Tissue by m aan mansyur

(sore di sepi taman
di bawah sebuah pohon)

ia menumpahkan airmata

karena seseorang yang meninggalkannya
dan seseorang lain yang mungkin akan meninggalkannya

apakah anda punya selembar tissue? ia bertanya

(aku bayangkan pohon di atasnya
runtuh dan jatuh di tubuhnya)

hanya dibutuhkan airmata
buat membersihkan airmata

tissue tak mencintai pohon, kataku
lalu kembali berlari-lari kecil menjaga kesehatan
karena besar mencintai diri dan istriku

  1. The Tears Behind Merapi

    When Mount Merapi began to the activity again
    Shake the earth, out lava, till spit volcanic ash
    When it also groans heart wrenching pain
    Toddlers up to old man asking for help at around

    Among the ashes, corpse lay lifeless
    Farm animals and plants are no longer helpless
    Tears began streaming down the cheeks of children from the country
    Now they piled into one on the barrack camps

    Hoping disaster was no longer shows God’s power
    Familiarity disaster makes them strong
    Missing family members no longer make them mourned
    They just want to open a new chapter in their life

    For the existing authorities in the throne
    Do not overload them with your deception
    It's enough that they feel pain
    That's enough the tears streaming

    Don’t add anymore
    Don’t add anymore
    Don’t add anymore
    Don’t more add their burden with your devious actions
