Poems

by Toeti Heraty

Ingin aku tulis
sajak porno sehingga
kata mentah tidak diubah
jadi indah, pokoknya
tidak perlu kiasan lagi
misalnya payudara, jadi bukit,
tubuh wanita = alam bangat
senggama = pelukan yang paling akrab

yang sudah jelas
tulis sajak itu
antara menyingkap dan sembunyi
antara munafik dan jatidiri.

The literal translation of this poem was made by Ulrich Kratz
