DERMAGA HONGKONG I

Lalu lalang terus menerus

siang malam desak berdesak

bahasa-bahasa beragam

sentak menyentak

rumah-rumah perahu

mendarat di depan

tanpa sapa penuh curiga

datang lagi, datang lagi berganti

wajah sama tanpa tawa

ibu-ibu mengaduk semen

mengangkat barang

punggung, bahu,menahan beban

keraslah hari-hari

anak perahu, tidur di keolengan

turun temurun

sesakkan kota

di bawah cakar langit

deruan suara jet tiada henti

beku kedinginan

HONGKONG PIER I

Crowd of people here and there continually

Day and night pushing each other

various languages

barking one and another

Floating houses

Landing before them

without greetings, suspicious eyes

There come , come again, one by one

similiar  face without laughters

Women stirring cement

moving goods

Back and  shoulders, lifting burden

Hard days

Kids of the floating houses, feel asleep drifting

from age to age

Crowing the town

Below the sky

jet planes roamed on and on

Frozen and stiff
