Joko Pinurbo

Side by side

Shaking

The bed shook all night long.

Perhaps two souls, two lions were fighting.
Or two deaths waged war.

The bed shook all night long.

While in fact there was only a pair of pants,
a white heap on a black pillow.

Goyang

Goyang

Ranjang bergoyang sepanjang malam.

Mungkin sepasang nyawa, sepasang singa,
sedang tempur.
Atau sepasang maut sedang perang.

Ranjang bergoyang sepanjang malam

Padahal cuma ada sepasang celana
teronggok putih di bantal hitam.
