FLOATING MARKET by : Isbedy Stiawan Z. S.

with Micky Hidayat

rain falls

on the foaming river

and you come by sampan

to take me to the shore

in the floating market

you offer me food

‘so you don’t fall ill

this dawn,’ you say

a parcel of rice

and a piece of chilli fish

fractures the sun

like tousled hair

come to this place

before the dawn

the market will be quiet

when the sun arrives

in the floating market

every dawn

will burn the skin

and the sailboats

like

beautiful dancers

await you…




Banjarmasin, 1999-2007
