Poem
Joko Pinurbo
Shaking
The bed shook all night long.Perhaps two souls, two lions were fighting.
Or two deaths waged war.
The bed shook all night long.
While in fact there was only a pair of pants,
a white heap on a black pillow.

Goyang
Ranjang bergoyang sepanjang malam.Mungkin sepasang nyawa, sepasang singa,
sedang tempur.
Atau sepasang maut sedang perang.
Ranjang bergoyang sepanjang malam
Padahal cuma ada sepasang celana
teronggok putih di bantal hitam.
