MISTERI KEMATIAN

Ratri Kumudawati 1943 (Indonesia)

Free verse
Di garis perbatasan fana dan baka
engkau memudar antara ada dan tiada,
terkatung mematung lalu sekejap lenyap
diiringi keharuan yang ke luar menyelinap.

Kau tinggalkan kekinian yang kian membeku.
Mungkinkah aku berdamai dengan waktu
atau meluruhkan awan di senja kelabu?
