PARA PENCARI TUHAN

 Tuhan sudah tidak ada lagi di altar.
Tuhan keleleran di jalan.
Tuhan mengamen di perempatan.
Tuhan kena kusta mengemis di lampu merah.
Tuhan adalah sopir truck yang pulang malu, tak pulang rindu.
Tuhan adalah sopir bus AKAP yang ditilang polisi karena ugal-ugalan demi waktu berharga penumpang.
Tuhan adalah penjual tahu goreng di SPBU-SPBU.
Tuhan adalah penjual air mineral di terminal.
Tuhan adalah tukang parkir yang dimaki pengemudi Pajero.
Tuhan adalah suami yang pulang dari Jakarta membawa rindu anak bayinya.
Tuhan yang tersalib, disalib di jalanan basah sehabis hujan semalam.
