Chrysogonus' Translation #59 - from Anna Couani's "Wind"

dari dalam mobil aku melihat

daun coklat dari amber cair

menelusur turun dari kaca belakang

sebuah Lexus

memandangnya membawaku

berpikir daun jatuh dan musim gugur

sepanjang jalan kita

tumpukan daun tertiup liar

musim mengendurkan definisinya

angin terasa bagai hawa musim semi

tapi aku menghindar dari bayang ruang gelap

dan anak tangga misterius

from inside the car I watch

a brown leaf from a liquid amber

flopping onto the sleek back window

of a Lexus

looking where this might take me

thinking that autumn leaves mean autumn

all up and down our particular street 

piles of leaves blowing into drifts

the seasons loosen their definitions

the wind feels like a springtime wind

but I resist the images of dark rooms

and mysterious stairwells
