%X Penned by the Indonesian poet, Afrizal Malna, ¡°Toko Bekas Bahasa A dan B¡± is a poem with the prominent theme of second-hand-ness. This paper examines the use of language in Malna¡¯s poem, along with its co-relation with its English translation by Gracia Asri, using translation theory from Marilyn Gaddis Rose and Lacan¡¯s psychoanalytic theory on language and speech. Ultimately, this research found the presence of two cyclical relationships (cyclicities) in the following forms: (1) the cyclicity of language in the form of the co-dependent relationship between ¡°problem¡± and ¡°language¡±, made apparent by the non-normative translation of the poem, and (2) the cyclicity of language ¡°birth¡± performed by characters A and B. These two cyclicities are constantly renewing themselves inside the scope of the poem
