don’t look back,
it’s already burning
black smoke rising from ashes
there’s no way to take us back
이제는 쉬어도 괜찮지 않을까
지난 날들의 상처들을 끌어 안는 것도
스스로를 용서하지 못 하는 것도
이젠 잠시 내려 놓을 수 있지 않을까
조그마한 언덕에 앉아
조심스레 혼잣말을 속삭여 본다.

“from ash to ash”
it’s the only words I remember
from that one lazy afternoon
as the sunset refracted in the mirror
hung on a door next to a post-it note
like the moon hung on an azure summer sky
shining through a sun window
like the lush tree branches humming in waves
the words imprinted in a lonesome memory
imploring the meaning yet unknown
had I known the path I’ve chosen
were filled with such bitter tears
just to see that smile under the sunrise
I may still walk the same walk I’d taken
perhaps, maybe with less weight, because
we are all alone in the end.
