Chrysogonus' Translation #37 - from Anne Walsh's "The Climb"

Pendakian

Gita lagu bumi mendaki

tangga tulang igamu

hingga ke langit-langit lidahku

yang memanjat naik

ke tempat kata darimu melompat

dari atap dahiku

The Climb

The music of the earth climbs

your ladder of ribs

onto the roof of my tongue

 and my tongue climbs up

to where your words leaps out

 from the scaffold of my forehead.
