Tuhan Datang Malam Ini

Tuhan datang malam ini 
di gudang gulita yang cuma dihuni cericit tikus 
dan celoteh sepi.

...

God came tonight, to a dark warehouse, 
inhabited by squeaking mice and lonely chatter. 
He came with the grand headline: 
“I have banned fear and uncertainty. 
Now you can truly celebrate 
your loneliness and your aloneness.” 
Listen, as God passes triumphantly across 
the lost pages and unread editorials.

… Excerpt from God Came Tonight by Joko Pinurbo
