B10:41
This road knows my tired feet.
Jalan ini tahu kaki lelahku.
I have walked it a thousand times.
Aku sudah berjalan di sini ribuan kali.
Each crack in the pavement is familiar.
Setiap retakan di aspal terasa akrab.
The same streetlamp flickers at the corner.
Lampu jalan yang sama berkedip di tikungan.
Tonight, I notice the small flowers by the wall.
Malam ini, aku melihat bunga kecil di dekat tembok.
They grow despite the dust and noise.
Mereka tumbuh meski di tengah debu dan bising.
Maybe I can be like them.
Mungkin aku bisa seperti mereka.
My shoulders feel lighter now.
Bahuku terasa lebih ringan sekarang.
The orange light from the kitchen window waits.
Cahaya jingga dari jendela dapur sudah menunggu.
I know my cat is sitting on the mat.
Aku tahu kucingku duduk di atas keset.
She will purr when I open the door.
Dia akan mendengkur saat kubuka pintu.
This road leads me home every night.
Jalan ini mengantarku pulang setiap malam.
The Road That Knows Me
