through the dark sky,
though it burns and rains,
I stretch my arms
I catch my glimpse
one day I’d be there
yes, we’ll be there
let it begin,
our journey to the star

Word
holding onto a mind
that wants to escape
was like holding onto a
snake who knew your secrets.
then a word slipped,
when mind slipped through doorlock
and entered a place of no return.
the word dropped, dissipating like
a drop of ink in a distilled water glass
reverberating into an opaque future
like a needle in a laundry bag.

컴퓨터
어느날 가을 아침이 맑아 보였다.
나도 모르게 컴퓨터 모니터가 앉아 있는
책상 의자에서 일어서 창가에 앉아
맑은 공기를 통해 천공으로서 부터 빛을 쏘는
태양을 바라 보았다.
그리고 서늘한 공기가 피부에 맞닿았다.
순간, 두가지의 문장이 떠올려졌다.
하나는 gen var_cold =.; replace var_cold =1 if var_temp>=46 & var_temp<=60; 이었고
다른 하나는 ‘이 차가움은 부드럽고도 쏘는듯 날카로우며 반갑고도 그리운 차가움이구나’ 이었다.
무심히 바라보던 태양 아래 그대를 떠올렸다. 그대의 따뜻함이 더욱이나 생각하는 하루이었다.

Ants
stranded alone in a dark river,
the moon, pinned high above,
only solaces the ant’s waiting
and hopes for a new beginning.
the ant stretches its six legs
grasping onto ephemeral reflection
of the moon on dark river,
its every breath to save the moon.
standing alone in the dark river
I stare at the ant, whispering words
perhaps as a prayer of some sort.

Race
at one point, I forgot how fast I was running
time flew by, I just work my legs to fly
I opened my eye, realized I stopped breathing
with ease, just gasps at a time
flash of memories, bright light in the sky
warm shine from the sun, it could’ve been fun
just waiting, yes the waiting, for days to come
there will be smile, there will be warmth, there will be hope.

Scent
like a dream that I can’t remember
the scent changes its colors
from luscious flowers of mideastern desert
to silky layers of white beach flowers
cold wind, rocky terrain, dark clouds may come to scene,
but the soul I saw in the scent,
I wonder how tender her thoughts were in essence.

Shooting star
like magma, the star descends
I, standing still, embrace impact
will it crush my bone and core
will it lift me from my corporeal limit?
every second passes like a train
heavy, deadly, and speedy,
But face the challenge in the eye
that is the only way to go.

Wait time
waiting for the sun to rise
waiting for the moon to shine
Al for the lasting impact
that might arrive on a thunderous roar
on a moment’s notice
what would you do to make world change
I would say I would wait for the
smile on your face.

Round
unlike movies, unlike novels, unlike commercials,
there aren’t time for silence.
each second testifies against (for) your existence
so I say, take that extra step to go a distance
do not be afraid to be naked
to your own conscious, not others’
for love, for hope, for courage, for faith,
take that extra step towards your goal

Glow
as if core of sun enveloped into my chest,
like warmth after slurping on a hot miso soup
heat radiates from my heart chambers
seeing your letters.
it’s one of the reasons why I keep together
after getting marked with scars after scars
by the nature, and by fellow humans.
to keep warmth going, to meet at our rendez-vous. thank you for giving me something to hold onto.
