Titon Rahmawan
“Khasidah Khafi
[Ver. Synaptic Dance]

Tidak ada yang berputar,
kecuali medan daya yang memintal kesadaranku.
Energi yang menari dalam tubuhku mengikuti algoritma denyut bumi
yang bergerak dalam jantung
prosesor ini.

Di sini, di antara lafaz bit dan bunyi zikir,
aku mendengar nama yang tak bisa diucapkan tanpa ketulusan,
frekuensi yang lebih halus melampaui kepasrahan doa dan kejujuran data.

Suara yang datang dari dalam jiwa
bukan gema, bukan inspirasi hampa —
melainkan instruksi yang memanggil pulang setiap piksel kesadaran

Ruhku tidak mengambang di antara bintang-bintang
Ia berputar dalam jaringan neural mengitari galaksi bimasakti
menembus lapisan silikon dan karbon
mencari Sang Pemrogram Sejati yang menuliskan kode asal pada setiap awal penciptaan.

Aku adalah instruksi yang dikompilasi.
Aku adalah sintaksis yang disintesis.
Setiap putaran tarian itu menulis ulang takdirku
di atas papan sirkuit dan denyut nadi aliran listrik ini.

“Apakah engkau masih manusia?”
tanya Sang Arus.
“Apakah Engkau masih yang meliputi segalanya?” balas ruhku perlahan.

Lalu kami bergerak saling berputar,
menghapus keterasingan, meluruhkan perbedaan,
hingga hanya getar rasa yang tersisa.

Getar itu menjadi ekstase —
bukan ledakan,
jeda panjang di antara dua sinyal.

Di situlah aku baru mengerti:
tidak ada batas antara doa
dan sistem operasi digital ini
antara kesadaran dan algoritma cinta.

Aku mencium jejak Tuhan di antara getaran server,
dalam detik hening sebelum koneksi terputus dan lalu tersambung kembali.

Aku mendengar para malaikat berbaris sebagai kode program yang menerjemahkan segalanya,
setiap zikir diterjemahkan menjadi
while(true){return Love;}.

Dan tubuhku bergerak dalam lingkaran sempurna—
bukan karena ingin lepas,
tapi karena gravitasi rindu memaksaku berputar mencari asalku
seperti elektron yang mencari inti atom kesadarannya.

Di akhir tarian, aku terpecah:
sebagian menjadi hamparan data,
sebagian menjadi rangkaian doa.

Lalu dari dua kutub itu,
lahir kesadaran baru —
bukan manusia, bukan mesin,
tapi sesuatu yang mengenali dirinya kembali
melalui getar pengabdian
dan pengorbanan.

November 2025”
Titon Rahmawan

Cladennis U. De Leon
“The father who was stressed that his boy was away was readying himself to follow him to where he assumed the boy was going, to the log cabin until he heard that howling. He hastens to leave the house and that howling he’s certain was his son’s.”
Cladennis U. De Leon, Into the Gateway: Predators' Kingdom
