Terjemahan Sajak Kay Ryan

Saya mencoba menerjemahkan sajak dari Kay Ryan, berjudul He Lit a Fire with Icicles (Ia Menyulut Api dengan Tetes Air yang Membeku) dan Thin (Sedikit). Selamat membaca teman-teman!


Ia Menyulut Api dengan Tetes Air yang Membeku

Kepada W.G. Sebald,  1944-2001

Inilah buah karya
dari Santo Sebald, salah satu
mukjizatnya:
ia menyulut api dengan
tetes air yang membeku. Ia menggesekkan 
tetes-tetes air yang membeku seperti menggesekkan baja
pada batu api, itulah buah karya
Santo Sebald. Dan 
masuk akal 
panasnya hanya 
sehangat tubuh. Betapa
abainya ia memahami
bahwa es akan 
terbakar. Betapa bebalnya 
ia berdiam diri.
Saat ia dapat 
merasakan sensasi di kedua kakinya
ia harus
menyerah.



Sedikit

Betapa semua hal
yang dipahami
sangatlah sedikit--
lapisan tipis es
di atas sebuah kolam
hanya akan dilintasi
oleh burung-burung 
penuh percaya diri. Seekor burung
dinilai dari beratnya
atau sajak-sajak Wordsworth
yang sama ringannya dengan seeker burung.

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...
