O, distant memory



How’s life, O distant memory?

With hesitant steps I try to come closer

You seemed reluctant to draw near.

and I guess I can understand.

You kept the space just as it is,

But only for tonight

Maybe you’ll let us talk about world’s history and conspiracy theories,

and you will listen to my rumbles until dawn comes.

But I can’t keep my eyes open any longer.

The voice of sunrise arrives,

and it becomes the end of our conversation.


What’s new, O distant memory?

Too late to greet you, ain’t I?

You seem to drift farther along our broken line.

Yet for now, let me hold you in my hand.

We’ll shoot the bull about the parallel universe we used to dream of—

because in this universe, we’ve wasted so much time.

But I guess what happens, happens.
I let you drift away through the clouds.
I let myself stay still
in possibility and impossibility.

Will I always be reminiscing you?

Will I find my way to you?


O, distant memory

Wander home to the silent shore

Supernova

  Million bulbs in the void, bursts into a piece as its light disperse, like a supernova, we dwell in the fading light, fight against gravity and grow red, restart, become blue with fury, sedated by dark, concourse into the blackhole, turning it into a singularity, succumbing to the demise, reconciled with eternity. We were once scintilation, before we collapse into one, so what are we now? -vic

To Be Small Before the Divine

The storm within me has known no rest. It visits in the hush between dawn and prayer, when the world still slumbers, and my thoughts grow loud. The earth spins swiftly on its axis, chasing the sun with relentless haste, yet here I stand—tethered, heavy, slow. My soul lags behind the march of men; I watch the days unravel like threads slipping from weary hands. I meet countless faces, radiant and certain, yet within me, doubt stirs like a restless tide. I ask myself,  Who am I in the vast decree of His creation?  A breath among storms, a grain among mountains, a spark that flickers, known only to the One who kindled it. The world teaches us to run—to build, to gather, to proclaim our worth upon fragile pedestals—but my heart whispers another truth: that to diminish oneself before the Divine is the only way to truly rise. For what glory can man claim when his end is dust, when his pulse is but a loan from the Almighty? I have seen men boast of their light, yet forget that light ...

My September in the Midst of Chaos

(I made this on September, 3rd, 2025)   This September feels so heavy in Indonesia. Everywhere I turn, the news is filled with protests, anger, and heartbreak.  The unrest began in August, when public anger erupted over lawmakers’ lavish housing perks—benefits so excessive they felt like mockery against the struggles of ordinary people. That anger only deepened with the tragedy of Affan Kurniawan, a young motorcycle taxi driver killed by an armored police vehicle during a demonstration. His death, caught on camera, became a symbol of injustice and sparked a wave of grief and rage. That image has stayed with me, as it has with so many others. Now the unrest has spread across the country—Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Makassar. Protesters fill the streets, government buildings and police stations are burned, and casualties keep rising. Security forces respond with tear gas, arrests, and armored vehicles, while leaders seem distant, even absent. Watching President Prabowo attend a m...
