Chrysogonus #78 - at the beach

at the beach 
inspired by MC's "The Sea" 

waves host
a timeless reunion
for my family

ash
long since
set to sea

in clear white
teasing
foam

my feet
on the sand
are very far

from spirits
with gills to swim
wings to float

lungs in chest
sign my mortality
hold me here

apart from the feast
at least
that's for today


di tepi pantai 

di dalam ombak 
reuni tanpa akhir
bagi keluargaku 

di dalam abu 
lama berselang 
larut dalam laut 

di putih gelombang
ujung buih 
menggoda

kakiku 
di atas pasir 
menapak jauh 

dari roh mereka 
berenang dengan insang 
melayang dengan sayap 

paru-paru di dada
pertanda kefanaan
menjeratku di sini 

riuh pesta 
tak terhampiri 
setidaknya hari ini
