Chrysogonus' Translation #86 - from Sarah St Vincent Welch's "I fall in"

Aku jatuh

satu kaki terbenam

tak terseimbangkan anjing girang

mendorong lewat lajur sempit

aku berpikir lama

bagaimana meraih keluar

langit dan air berwarna serupa

biarlah tubuhku mendorong

masuk

one leg submerged

unbalanced by an excited dog

pushing past on the narrow way

I thought for a long time

how to clamber out

sky and water the same colour

let my weight take me

in
