I'm sure there's something about the way the three poets put the words side by side, composed and contrasted [does this word exist?] that the sentences contain clashes [wow, another clash]. The words in one sentences often collide each other, creating the sense of vague or doubt, yet true. Telling us that nothing in this world is really 'right' or absolute. Asking us to rethink of what we have understood.
d
For example: "Keelokannya yang kabur telah membakar semua budi dalam raganya, dan ini di luar kehendaknya sebab tiap kedipnya, tiap kial tangannya, menyulut nafsu wanita dan pria yang tersentuh olehnya, walau tak sengaja" [p. 94]
Keelokan; beauty, is surely something real. We're conscious when saying that something or someone is beautiful although it's all up to our personal opinion. Yet it is kabur; blurred. The beauty is blurred. But this blurred beauty somehow hipnotized everyone. Reading this, I questioned whether this beauty is physical and obvious, or mythical, or there's just simply no beauty at all. An illusion.
d
In many other sentences, the clashes include the joy of pain, the violence in a peaceful faith, the wisdom in hunger, knowing without seeing. and a lot more others.
