Ketika Bumi Menghitung Napasnya

Alam tak lagi marah
Ia hanya sedang diam

Laut menyimpan asin air matanya
di balik senyum wisata

Langit menurunkan panas sebagai tanda tangan
yang tak pernah kita baca

Sawah menguning sebelum waktunya
seperti tubuh yang kehilangan doa

Lalu manusia sibuk menghitung untung
sementara bumi pelan-pelan menghitung napasnya sendiri

WHEN THE EARTH COUNTS ITS BREATHS


Nature is no longer angry
It has simply fallen silent

The sea hides the salt of its tears
behind the smile of tourism

The sky pours down its heat, a signature
we have never learned to read

The rice fields turn golden before their time
like a body that has lost its prayers

Meanwhile, people are busy counting profits
while the Earth quietly counts
its own remaining breaths
