The Sun at Seclusion Day
No darkness
on hopes,
no impossibility
in the middle of yearning,
no beauty of a more beautiful,
than you,
my sun.
Although a night has devoured you in the middle of your day,
hiding you become nothing more than a shadow of a man,
in the clamps of the armpit of black thorny roses,
you still present,
like smut
in the middle of a muddy silver fountain,
poking through the clouds with a circular stain,
slicing the mighty shadow of yourself.
Hi, my sun,
light shines of you has slaped my face,
unmasks of the great charlatans,
the corruptors and the political soothsayers of this messy country,
thei are like a disgusting cancer,
ride to live off the sweet growing buds.
They welcome the light of your truth,
that shines brightly lit,
opening shame and guilt of all people,
including myself.
Because of all these reasons,
keep shine,
shine on this earth,
with the light of your truth.

Nyepi Matahari
Tiada kegelapan
di tengah harapan,
tiada kemustahilan
di tengah dambaan,
tiada keindahan lebih indah,
dibandingkan dirimu,
matahariku.
Meski sang pemalam sempat menelanmu di tengah hari,
Menyembunyikanmu menjadi tak lebih bayangan lelaki,
dalam jepitan ketiak mawar hitam berduri,
kau tetap saja hadir,
bak jamur api,
di tengah air mancur perak berlumpur,
menyeruak menembus awan noda berlingkar,
yang mengiris sosok perkasamu.
Matahariku,
cahayamu bersinar menampar wajahku,
membuka kedok para tukang tipu,
para koruptor dan tukang tenung politik negeri berantakan ini,
yang bak kanker menjijikkan,
menumpang hidup para tunas manis merenggas.
Mereka menyambut sinar kebenaran,
yang secara terang benderang,
membukakan aib dan kesalahan semua orang,
tak terkecuali diriku.
Karenanya,
tetaplah bersinar,
terpa bumi ini,
dengan cahaya kebenaranmu.
