“DI RESTORAN

Kita berdua saja, duduk. Aku memesan
ilalang panjang dan bunga rumput --
kau entah memesan apa. Aku memesan
batu ditengah sungai terjal yang deras --

kau entah memesan apa. Tapi kita berdua
saja, duduk. Aku memesan rasa sakit
yang tak putus dan nyaring lengkingnya,
memesan rasa lapar yang asing itu.

(1989)”
― Sapardi Djoko Damono, Hujan Bulan Juni

“The person she liked best didn’t like her enough to want more of her, and she didn’t want to pretend that wasn’t awful.”
