hidup akhirnya membawaku bertemu dengan seorang penyair dari cape town di pekalongan

hi your name is rustum kozain if you were born here i would’ve called you rustam

sebuah parade keterasingan dan umbul umbul pilkadal?

aku berjalan memisahkan diri dari kerumunan menuju ke batik workshop yang telah lama menjelma menjadi parking spot

aku berjalan memisahkan diri dari kerumunan menuju WC Rp2000

aku berjalan memisahkan diri dari kerumunan untuk menggilas keheningan

hi this is weird the word for cambuk is the same for you and for me and the entire human race

hi this is weird this is freaking me out this music

it’s the same song they play at the coon carnival

hi i dreamt of you a couple of days later

we went to see a movie together

but not together

you accosted me for not noticing you

and i kept my gaze fixed on the end credits

neko neko wae kamu

hi your name is FINIS the field has nothing to do with you





villainelle, deux

i’ve been trying to write poetry and failing
no-mind in hyper-intellectual tzu-jan
semacam keheningan yang dipaksakan

life should be like that
the empathy of burning windows
i’ve been trying to write poetry and failing

make compost out of burning leaves
an addiction to delayed pleasures?
semacam keheningan yang dipaksakan

places get displaced in memories
this is useless
i’ve been trying to write poetry and failing

giant eels careening in overtly familiar territory
we all listen to the rumble of chariots
semacam keheningan yang dipaksakan

i eat capitalism for breakfast
i need an extra n to spell out your name on wordfeud
i’ve been trying to write poetry and failing
semacam keheningan yang dipaksakan
