At The Mosque

by

Chairil Anwar


I shouted at Him

until He came


We met each other face to face.


Afterward, He burned in my heart.

I fight to extinguish Him with all my strength


My body, which will not be driven, is naked with sweat


This room

Is the arena where He and I fight


Destroying one another

One throwing insults, the other gone crazy.
