dari bui ke hawaii

tak bisa diukur langkah kaki

masih tersisa rasa perih dera ekor pari

dikejar bawah sadar dalam mimpi

 

bukit-bukit hawaii

disemangati terang lampu malam hari

aroma kamboja bunga hawaii

disambut getar suaraku bergema

menantang pilihan manusia

 

hawaii tak pernah terbayangkan dari bui

nafas kita

menyatu berembus melaju

membongkar sekat manusia - hawaii.

Brief Crossing
 

>From jail to Hawaii

the footsteps are imeasurable

slashes from the sting-ray's tail yet lurk

in dreams my subconscious flushes out

 

the hill of hawaii

alive in the lamplit night

the  scent of Hawaii'fringipani

my voice reverberates among them

to challenge the choice of men

 

Hawaii-in jail I never once imagined you

our breaths-

now as one-blow forward

to pull down the walls men build.

 

Lincoln House, Sept.2000
