Joko Pinurbo

Side by side

Goblins

Words are goblins which come out in the middle of the night,
they are not saints, immune to all temptation.

When goblins gather, their bodies are covered with blood,
and the pens they sharpen will never break.

Kurcaci

Kurcaci

Kata-kata adalah kurcaci yang muncul tengah malam
dan ia bukan pertapa suci yang kebal terhadap godaan.

Kurcaci merubung tubuhnya yang berlumuran darah
sementara pena yang dihunusnya belum mau patah.
