diam-diam lapan baris tidask cukup untuk menerangkan gelap mendadak di ruang sempit yang meggentel masa mengecil terselit di celahan di gigiku yang lama reput dan nafasku yang tersangkut di antara kertas tipis dan kuman naik angin. lapan baris tidak cukup untuk aku merapikan ronyok isiku yang berkucar-kacir di dalam pelukan masa depan yang tercicir entahlah dekat mana sambil aku meraba-raba jatuh tergolek terseret gerun yang membisik manja di kuping telingaku. mungkin lapan baris ini cukup sahaja buat sekarang karang untuk diam-diam seperti batu yang melihat semuanya walaupun tidak bermata silent eight lines aren't enough to describe the sudden darkness in this space crammed, rolling my life into a pellet rotting in between my teeth and my breath trapped in between thin papers, raging with germs. eight lines aren't enough for me to iron out myself, crumpled in the clasp of a future lost i don't know where, as i grapple and fall and dragged by fear that whispers with affection into my ears. maybe these eight lines are just enough for now later i'll be silent like a stone who sees everything even without eyes Taken From New Singapore Poetries (US: Gaudy Boy, 2022)
