"I come from ablaze" - Zoey Yazzie; Ultraviolet Velveteen and Corn—Husked Satin... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...n-husked-satin
I think the content difficult too, we don't have context clues to these Indonesian poems. But there is an overall view of things floating and falling away that is catching. What I'm gathering from all this contemporary poems we are posting is that every kind of association and image is possible but that the general atmosphere is negative.
Stunning poem by Zoey Yazzie (three "zs" in one name is a feat in itself) as to form and content. All seems to be ablaze and yet holding its place!
