REAP THE SEASON

Ang Jasman

REAP THE SEASON

in the depths of sweat
he had planted a mile
of smile
his wife’s eyeball
and the song his child’s game
in a hoe he often whispered
‘you have given us the season in its grain’
in the warm sun each morning
his eyes grew
recognizing the fragrant rice
[witnessed by hundreds of sparrows]
to sing the harvest songs.

MENUAI MUSIM

Ang Jasman

MENUAI MUSIM

Di kedalaman keringat
Ditanam senyumnya juga
Bola mata bininya
Dan lagu dolanan anak-anaknya.
Pada cangkul sering dia berbisik,
“Kau telah beri kami musim pada bulir-bulirnya.”
Di hangat mentari tiap pagi
Matanya mengenali wangi padi bertumbuh
[Disaksikan ratusan burung pipit]
Menembangkan musim menuai.

DREAMS OF FLOWERS

Ang Jasman

DREAMS OF FLOWERS

The dreams that you write
Continue
even if your eyes awake
Leave the warmth of the bed
Forward your story
in the courts and the streets.
Watch Out. There were traces of a story
parched your ink. Unwilling.
Listen the whisper of a secret
Blooming petal on the lips.
Submit your dreams in the colors
And flush yourself in the fragrance
that tube.

MIMPI BUNGA

Ang Jasman

MIMPI BUNGA

Mimpi-mimpi yang kau tulis itu
Lanjutkan meski matamu terjaga.
Tinggalkan kehangatan ranjang
Teruskan kisahmu di pelataran dan jalan-jalan.
Awas. Ada jejak menyimpan cerita
Tak hendak sudah sampai kerontang tintamu.
Simak bisik rahasia itu
Di bibir kelopak bermekaran.
Serahkan mimpimu di warna-warninya
Dan hanyutkan dirimu di wanginya yang tuba.
