Chrysogonus' Translation #101 - from Moyra Donaldson's "Everything stopped"

Semua berhenti

Berhenti dan diam bak batu
di rerumputan tinggi,
sang rubah mengawasi kita
memandangnya.
Mantelnya
gelap oleh hujan.

Kita yang pertama
mengalihkan pandang
dan saat kita menoleh
ia pergi
langit bergerak lurus
turun.


Stopped still as stone
in the long grass,
the fox watches us
watching him.
His coat
is dark with rain.

We are the first
to look away
and when we turn back
he's gone
and the sky goes on

lowering.
