Anak Lelaki, Kuda, dan Matahari

-
Membakar api membakar hidup
Mendaki gunung tak berpuncak
Bermula mimpi kuda-kuda perang
Anak lelaki menghunus sabit pada matahari
Nyanyian tentang pahlawan
Tebas! Heay!
Tendang! Heay!
Tinju! Heay!
Kisah tentang perang
Lawan! Heay!
Kalahkan! Heay!
Lumat! Heay!
Menghampar ladang jagung sampai batas pandang
Kesanalah surai-surai hitam pergi
Lalu menghilang
Lalu kelam
Anak lelaki letih bermain dibawah matahari
Membakar api membakar hidup
Mendaki gunung tak berpuncak
Perjalanan demi perjalanan,kisah dari masa lampau diperdengarkan
Dahulu kala seorang anak lelaki lain pergi dan tak pernah kembali
Kuda-kuda itu membawanya ke matahari

Ibadah Sepanjang Usia (Dorothea Rosa Herliany)

IBADAH SEPANJANG USIA kalimatkalimat yang kauucapkan berguguran dalam sahadatku. inilah kidung yang digumamkan! berapa putaran dalam sembahyang langit. tengadah di bawah hujan yang menaburkan ayatayat tak pernah dibaca. aku tak menemu akhir sembahyangku yang gagap. lilinlilin tak menyala dalam ruangan tanpa cahaya. gema mazmur yang disenandungkan dari ruang mimpimu beterbangan dalam tidurgelisahku. dan kotbah yang sayup, bertebaran dari mulutmulut kesunyian. telah kautabuh loncengmu? sembahyangku takjuga menemu akhir. Dorothea Rosa Herliany 1992
