I. Kincah Belanga

Di antara gemeretak lentik kayu api                                                                                                                             gamang tualang di atas tempaan besi                                                                                                                         gabak mata di balik tungku pembakaran                                                                                                                          dan bayang kuasi samudra air mata                                                                                                              teraduk sempurna dalam kincah belanga.                                                                                          Adakah sebuah perasaan lain yang mungkin,                                                                                     selain cinta? Jerih sebatang besi atau mungkin                                                                                            perih kersani yang niscaya beradu di antara hati                                                                          dan jantung maut, saat keduanya bertaut?

Duhai pemutus rantap, jangan sekali-kali mata                                                                                   ditentang nyata, sebab kena tuahnya mati Belanda                                                                                                           Duhai engkau penetak leher lembu betina.                                                                                       Akankah kaubawa keping secuil hatiku                                                                                                     ke mana pun engkau pergi berkelana? Seperti                                                                                         kerat jangat dalam bungkus selampai putih                                                                                             Pada tajam mulut atau garit luka dingin parasmu                                                                            yang hadir dalam ruap mimpi dan balau igauanku.                                                                         Engkau mungkin saja sekadar fatamorgana                                                                                     di mana aku mengada dalam tiap tetes                                                                                            bening air mata rembulan, tempat di mana                                                                                   dulu aku melabuhkan segala kerinduan.”
