Secangkir kopi panas
Sekembar mochi manis
Sejoli dua belangkas
Persis cinta ternafis!
#692 Tentang Mochi dan Cinta
#685 Tentang Kelana Di Bawah Jaga
Lenguh kakinya
Letih kelana
Beratnya mata
Terdetak lena
Kaki berdenyut
Matanya surut
Diam berqunut
Makna melarut
Sayupnya dunia
Di bawah jaga
Sayap jiwanya
Lebar kelana.
#668 On Amorim’s Travails
He rides where broken banners fly,
And weary boots tread shadows deep.
With iron will and longing sigh,
He wakes the dreams they vowed to keep.
#667 On Little Minds
She frowned, then eyes a-widened
And whispered loudly this:
“I have to ask the husband, right?”
A child’s mind - ah, what bliss!
She begged with charm implicit
Implored with heart o’erwrought
“You’ll come today to visit, right?”
Her pleading came to naught.
