MATHEMATICAL POETRY
IN ENGLISH:
MISSING LANDSCAPE
Written by Ikhsan, S.Pd., M.Pd.
At the spreading out area of coarse grass
The big and fresh stomach goats
Seriously eating grass
Slowly they enfared from one another
From the center of the circle of a shaded area
Seemed at the point (2014, 2015)
I got afraid goats without direction
I pulled, pulled their neck
With a rope of the banana trunk I did it
There was smiling erasing tiredness
Eight meters from the side
I leaned on a teak tree.
Releasing my sight from distance of 2015 feet
Achieving silence dreams
In the extreme heat sun at midday.
I blew the old bamboo flute
Thulit thulit thulalit thulilat
whistling the adoration rhythm
Bouncing from the hillside side by side
I felt at that time that it was approaching the nightfall
I ran after very fast
Goats also ran after, until the released tying
Being translation to chase steps
Grandmother, grandmother, grandmother
It was approaching the nightfall with blanket of darkness.
like that was my voice called her name
From behind her
At her back it become spoiled a pile
Branches of drought teaks
A half of her Jarik closed her thigh
Its remains tied the neck of goat child
Mbeek…mbeeek….
Goat child ran down the big goat
Rotating 360 degrees
Grandmother hugged her Jarik very strongly

PUISI MATEMATIS:
Hamparan Kerinduan
Karya Ikhsan, S.Pd., M.Pd.
Pada hamparan ilalang
Kambing gendhut perutnya
Lahap menyantap rerumputan
Perlahan saling berjauhan
Dari titik pusat lingkaran perteduhan
Terlihat titik (2014, 2015)
Aku takut kambing gendhut tanpa arah
Kutarik, kutarik lehernya
Dengan tali gedebog kulakukan
Ada senyum menghempas kelelahan
Delapan meter dari sisi
Kusandar di pohon jati
Melepas pandang dari jarak 2015 kaki
Meraih mimpi-mimpi sunyi
Di terik matahari siang hari.
Kutiup seruling tua
Thulit thulit thulalit thulilat
Bersiulan irama pujaan
Memantul dari sisi tebing bergandengan
Tak terasa petang menjelang
Aku berlari kencang
Kambing pun berlari, hingga lepas ikatan
Bertranslasi mengejar langkah-langkah
Mbah mbah mbah
ialah petang berselimut kegelapan
begitu suaraku memanggil namanya
Dari belakang
Simbah tua
Di punggungnya bermanja tumpukan
Ranting jati kekeringan
Setengah jariknya menutupi paha
Sisanya mengikat leher kambing anak
Mbeek…, mbeeek….
Kambing anak diseruduk kambing besar
Berotasi 360 derajat.
Simbah tua memeluk kuat jariknya.
