Gubang (Mesapol)
Tadi, tebing tanah pusaka
runtuh jauh ke dalam.
Hari ini, hujan tak turun.
Kekadang hujan panas
yang sedang berjalan, cepat-cepat
menaruh carik rumput di telinga.
Ketika lalu rumah Si Badin,
sepi. Memang ia pemburu
pelanduk dan payau. Kini entah
ke mana. Orang tak mengetam padi.
Durong, telah dimakan anai-anai.
Sekarang bukan musim banjir
lalu, aku berhanyut-hanyut sendirian
membawa gubangku ke Kuala
Sungai Mesapol.
Gubangku, tadi
di laut kini di atas pasir.
Di Pantai Pelakat,
di bawah pohon
aku membuka bungkusan
tompeh dan ikan goreng.
Sendiri, tapi dalam sukma,
aku mengenangkan mama,
mengenangmu, Karuhai.
