And that was the day she learnt 

she was loving by herself 

all this time. 

Observation #1

My shower curtain 

looks like the translucent skin 

of an elegant giraffe. 

Magic

I believe that some loves

have the power 

to summon their subject 

into your presence. 

Concrete

The right song 

and the golden light

of a slowly descending sun

can turn concrete 

into romance. 

Squeeze

This is not my native language

it is not my mother tongue

They are words I can extract only

if I squeeze my brain in one hand

and my heart in the other.

Creation

It’s funny, sad, and fitting 

that these days I feel 

utterly drained 

of all my creative energy. 

Black Hole

I’m a shell of my usual self 

like a black hole just 

suddenly opened up inside me 

only that it’s not a black hole 

it’s a small living thing

a future human 

being formed out of myself. 

May 2017

We just elected a new progressive president 

PSY released a new single 

Toxic microdust levels are at record highs 

and our borthers in the North are more aggravated than ever. 

What a thrilling time 

to be alive 

in Korea. 

Sleep Now

Sleep now 

while you still can 

and savor the pure

and unbroken silence 

of night. 

Smudgy

You were just a small smudge 

on a black and white screen 

but your heartbeat was the clearest, 

most certain sound 

I’ve ever heard.
