ELIZABETH GARDEN SINGAPURA

Buat :Pelaut Indonesia yang kujumpai

Air masih mengalir deras

dari mulut singa berbadan ikan

di seberang kami

deru-deru  kapal tongkang melintas

pekakkan telinga potong bicara

bangku berserakan penuh sudah

terpaku warna-warna nusa

wewangian sentuh hidung lintas deras

derasnya air mancur

dari sini warnaku mengembara

mereka mengembara

hadir duduk terpaku

tunggu tangan-tangan mengulur

dari gedung tinggi-tinggi

mengantar mereka ke tengah sana

bendera-bendera melambai

dari haluan kapal-kapal dagang

coba merayu minta dipeluk

menggoda warnaku

menunggu bermesraan?

matahari lenyap di buritan kapal

aku beranjak

tinggalkan mereka

ELIZABETH GARDEN SINGAPORE

Dedicated to sailors I came across

Water is flowing fast

from the mouth of the fish lion-bodied

across us

Noise of fishing boats passing by

hurting our eat to stop words

Benches scattered arround

colored in glamour

Perfume penetrates nostril so strong

As strong as the running water

Here I set journey

They take journes

appear and sit still

hoping for hands reaching

from the skycrapers

guiding them to the open sea

Flags are waving

from the deck of trading ships

seducing for a bug

teasing my color

awaiting romance?

The sun vanished by the ship tail

I set steps

leaving them behind
