1. “Perahu kertas” karya Sapardi Djoko Damono

Waktu masih kanak-kanak kau membuat perahu kertas dan kau                                                           layarkan di tepi kali; alirnya sangat tenang, dan perahumu                                                                bergoyang menuju lautan.                                                                                                                                         “Ia akan singgah di bandar-bandar besar,” kata seorang lelaki tua.                                                              Kau sangat gembira, pulang dengan berbagai gambar                                                                                        warna-warni di kepala. Sejak itu kau pun menunggu kalau-                                                                          kalau ada kabar dari perahu yang tak pernah lepas dari rindu-                                                                        mu itu.                                                                                                                                                                   Akhirnya kau dengar juga pesan si tua itu, Nuh, katanya,                                                                                “Telah kupergunakan perahumu itu dalam sebuah banjir besar                                                                     dan kini terdampar di sebuah bukit.” [irp]
