udah lama juga gw gak nulis… baik di jurnal yang
sebelumnya selalu tak terlewatkan utk gw tulis. Mungkin karena gw merasa banyak
kekecewaan yang terlalu menyebalkan untuk ditulis… mungkin karena gw merasa
hidup gw gak terlalu menarik untuk suatu hari kubaca lagi..
sambil menghembuskan asap rokok yang akhir2 ini mulai ku
gemari… ku dengar alunan Procool Harum….
A WHITER SHADE OF PALE…
We skipped a light fandango,
Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor.
I was feeling kind of seasick,
But the crowd called out for more.
The room was humming harder,
As the ceiling flew away.
When we called out for another drink,
The waiter brought a tray.
And so it was that later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
She said there is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see
That I wandered through my playing cards,
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast.
And although my eyes were open,
They might just as well have been closed.
And so it was later,
As the miller told his tale,
That her face at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
