villainelle deux

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

*made up of same lines (my own) as villainelle, un, but in different order
