Sajak Koboi oleh Hamzah Yazd

~ The Koboi Project

Hamzah Yazd composed a new sajak titled Dari Pusat Tasek for the opening of the Pokok Pauh Janggi performance/exhibition at Kapallorek Artspace, Seri Iskandar, Perak in August 2023. This poem was completed in July 2023 but the last stanza was initially presented at the Dari Pusat Tasek performance/ Installation in December 2019 at Percha Artspace, Lumut.

Dari Pusat Tasik

titis titis puitis
titik titik puitik
ritma koma sabdu
bunyi noktah seru

titis
titik
titis menitis
titik menitik
menitis menitik
menitis menitik
menitis menitik

tik tik tik
tis tis tis
ritma koma sabdu
bunyi noktah seru

datanglah…
tujuh mata air
air mata tujuh
semburkan
dalam tujuh lautan
kesunyian
bisikan tujuh nafsu
pemilik akar keramat
memanggil namamu!
tujuh kali terkoyak!

lalah
leleh
lalah melalah
leleh meleleh
melalah meleleh
melalah meleleh
melalah meleleh
menggeliat!

geliat pohon
pauh janggi
berselimut maghrib

sunyi terperi diri
lepaskan segala-galanya
binasa-kegelapan lahir
purnama bersuluk pergi

siuman tengah malam
sajak sajak redam
koboi balik kampung
menghiris pauh ulung

Hamzah Yazd and Zai Kuning performed an impromptu ‘Gazal Pauh di bibir laut’  at the Dari Pusat Tasek opening, Percha Artspace, 25 Dec 2019. Hamzah read Balada Terbunuhnya Beringin Tua di Pinggir Sebuah Bandaraya and Benarkah Ketam Mengajar Anaknya Berjalan Betul? by Usman Awang as well as Di Bibir Air and Sajak-sajak Tengah Malam by Latiff Mohidin. Here is the conclusion of sajak-sajak tengah malam –

v
tujuh lautan
satu gelombang
di pusar perutmu
berpusing
denyutan purba
memanggil namaku
kuturuni bukit
kutinggalkan padang luas

aku merangkak kembali
ke lubuk kelammu

And in Hamzah’s own words, here is how the night went down –
Siuman tengah malam
Sajak sajak redam
Koboi balik kampung
Menghiris pauh ulung
