Found poem based on the first two chapters of The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston, with a bit of decoration in the background.
(project for my English class - I’m not a poet don’t come for me)
“Cosmic Loneliness”, a poem made of Wikipedia snippets and inspired by @headspace-hotel’s Wikipedia poems.
That madeleine moment,
Dunked in tea.
Precious fragments
Of the past,
Involuntary, unbidden,
Brought on by a certain, specific smell,
Triggering chains
(autobiographical)
Temporal, traumatic.
Recurrent research reactivates
To elicit positive emotional effects.
The bibliophile in the library,
Evoking borrowed memories.
