about a girl

A grandfather was walking through his yard when he heard his granddaughter repeating the alphabet in a tone of voice that sounded like a prayer. He asked her what she was doing. The little girl explained: "I'm praying, but I can't think of exactly the right words, so I'm just saying all the letters, and God will put them together for me, because He knows what I'm thinking." -Charles B.

kembang api di mataku

tak bisa kusembunyikan kembang api di mataku
manakala kudengar namamu mereka sebut
seketika terpapar pekat pijaran hangatnya
seketika terbuka pilu buraian ronanya

masihkah kamu kenali kembang api di mataku?
yang pernah kamu saksikan melesat membelah langit
dan secepat itu pula pudar lalu hilang ditelan malam
sisakan rasa yang tak akan pernah selesai kusenandungkan

akan selalu ada elegi kembang api di mataku
yang pahatkan bilur, kanvaskan lebam, abadikan sembilu
hempaskan selaksa aksara yang dirangkai senja
manakala kudengar namamu mereka sebut
