Shoes

By Sapardi Djoko Damono

You don’t feel that your shoes have trodden on
the gravel and old leaves on that small path;
You don’t hear the wise conversation
between the leaves and the gravel about your shoes.
 
 

Percakapan, from Damono, Sapardi Djoko. Melipat Jarak : Sepilihan Sajak 1995-2015. Cetakan kedua ed. PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama 2016.
