kesadaran dalam kesunyian

• Ashtray Full of Ashes

  A child's laughter leaks through the walls,
  like a confession slipping out,
  the bus window frames my view,
  as if I'm looking at a world I once knew.

  An ashtray rests heavy with forgotten smoke,
  each flake a memory burnt away,
  I watch, detached, from my moving seat,
  accepting loss without reason or delay.

• Lembayung di Cangkir

  Aroma kopi mengisi pagi
  jendela terbuka, debu berbisik
  di antara desahan hangat
  jejak langkah di jalan sunyi
  menyusup dalam segelas kesadaran

  Di atas meja, cerita tersisa
  gulir waktu terhenti sejenak
  di kerlip senyum yang malu
  langit mengabur, diam menyapa
  melepas arah, ringan menyelimutkan kita
