Do you remember?

By T. S. Frima

Kayu Tanam, 28 Juli 2010

He remembers each sign you both missed,

Leading to the untroden ways.

He remembers the spring of dove you both were told about,

Imagery of fair rainy days.

And when time began to blur,

He remembers they turned into hollows:

Ghost of seasons past, ghost of seasons yet to come.

He wants to believe

That the bond you vowed will last against the stream.

But a violent stream, life is.

As rust, everything does.

He remembers each line you drew, marking the fear you tried to eradicate.

And this fear, this very fear,

Becomes so vivid, as you no longer walk side by side.

Eventually,

Scars and silent are all he has.

So, will you remember to be there once again,

To share the words?

Ini sebuah puisi tentang persahabatan, tentang dua orang yang saling berbagi cerita, menderai tawa, membuak sedikit rahasia, dan mengikat seuntai janji. Ini puisi tentang rindu, pada masa lalu yang sejuk tersimpan dalam ingatan, pada sosok yang pernah hangat menyambut genggam. Dan akhirnya, ini puisi yang skeptis, sejak Waktu selalu berhasil merubah segalanya.

Saya harap dia tidak lupa, walau seperti apa kami berubah. Amin.
