GAGAK 

Gagak hitam di dahan hitam
membawa hasrat terpendam
sambil mematuk dahan  
yang kontang
tidak pernah terkilan.

Terbang lagi dan lagi
memagut yang rendah dan tinggi
terus berani  
persekitaran tak dipeduli.

Dahan dan ranting hitam
mewah daun dan bunga
sebentar cuma
sebelum tiba saatnya
bijak mengurus masa   
diperoleh sekelumit sisa.

Gagak hitam kejap azam 
seputih kelopak Sakura
kecewa
terpadam.

SEPASANG SEPATU

 

Kupakaikan sepasang sepatu
Ketika keterujaan tepu
di mana-mana jua
langkah pun bermula.

Lakarlah peta
ayunlah gerak
masa tidak pernah leka
seatu yang gentar dan sebak.

Sepasang sepatu
pakailah dengan akal
agar jejak bertapak
siaga berbekal
Bersama-sama-Nyaaaa di puncak!

MATA HATI

Sesekali melihat alam Ilahi
mata hati
anak yang bertenaga
dan berani mencuba.

Pandanglah seputar, pengamatan
luar biasa dan kreatif
penerokaan bernatijah murni.

Namun,
berpautlah kedua-dua belah tangan
dan kaki kental
pada tiang iman.

Pasak diri
berniat suci.

Apabila terjatuh pun
kaya pengalaman.

IN BERLIN

IN BERLIN In Berlin I filled up forms Applying for political asylum But my tears flowed non-stop And I had to stop writing When told I could not go back Maybe for the rest of my life The white guy at the Human Rights office Kept quiet for a long time and kept looking at me Seeing it was very difficult for me To let go of my beloved country Then he asked me To think carefully And take time Until I am very sure of myself Two weeks later The world stopped turning Due to Corvid 19 In Sarajevo Few weeks later A vacant Malaysian plane Took us back to my homeland ‘Your PM really loves you’ The officer at the empty Butmir airport counter joked with me ‘Yes, maybe someone knew I was applying for political asylum in Berlin recently’ I replied He laughed heartily While his beautiful blue eyes caressing my face I joined his laughter In prayer I touched my forehead to the floor of the hotel lobby Used to quarantine us Oh my God Maybe that’s wh...
