(from "fragments of ennui")
grains of white dust, stickily settled on the void
floundering flies, trapped in the air
red bones and damp wet soil
the black nail, cursing its own death
yellow lumps of fat, morbidly
poured into the drain
the caprice of flies and the malice of spiders
the only things that smile at us
in the void on the blade
the power of anxiety, a deadly greed that melts
the brain, among them, what blue anxiety
likes the most, air and resistance
admiration and contempt, something like love and hate,
something like the foolish youthful heart
toward a beast living only on instinct
ideas and trivial jokes
reality, illusions, delusions, ideals
compassion, denial, turning away, darkness
regret, death, loss, past, faith, distrust, doubt
an empty black mouth like the whitened
cloudy eyes of a turtle
Fire, sea, fall.
the sea, always the abject of fear
not even a handful of void
did the sea allow
(from "Into the Darkness")
Two cups of different sizes
are filled with different drinks,
the more you want to hide your heart,
the more ferociously it jumps out.
With no color, no odor, no taste, it makes
the most fatal poison. And it doesn't disappear.
It just plays in the most discreet way.
It never disappears but becomes even more evil.
(from "A Writer and a Lighter") I wanted to set fire to his eyebrows.
But he doesn't have any.
I didn't want any other hairs on his body.
So I threw away my lighter.
Instead, decided to be a writer.
I wanted to set fire to his mind at least.
(from "Inside of the Lush Forest") you were just lying in there as a body you were just lying in there with silent breaths you were just lying in there with silent breaths, trembling with fear from a sign of someone you were just lying in there with silent breaths, being disgusted with the world and melting into the earth you were just lying in there with silent breaths, taking a peaceful nap you just arbitrarily lied down in there and rolled around, crushing all kinds of wild flowers you just arbitrarily lied down in there and were bitten by bees, a grasshopper and a mantis and cried like a kid you just arbitrarily lied down in there and were bitten by a snake and dying in vain you just arbitrarily lied down in there and were sleeping peacefully until the middle of the night.
(from "A Sandwich") Can you get me a sandwich? A healthy sandwich which is full of ham and cheese and vegetables. A healthy, tasteful and rich sandwich A cup of coffee of proper strength A sweet macadamia nut cookie If I have such a big meal with those, I feel like I could live like a human being. I would work hard on my writing, Have sound thoughts, Learn to live together with others, And equip the clear intuition which doesn't need to be confused. I won't covertly evade the definite truth and run away from it.
(from "My Longest Fear")
There were petals on the road
There were fallen leaves also
Stepping on them
I kept walking
Sometimes in the rain
Sometimes in the snow
I kept walking
One day
I turned around
There was nothing
I might keep walking
Again, turned my head around
And everything was a muddy mess
My longest fear is
The brightest light for me
The deepest darkness in me
So I walked again
But couldn't move on
(from "a cave")
a cave
with lively bats
those covetous eyes
fat sly claws
greenish bellies
full of sour old pride
vice
or stupidity
the only knife
that can be embedded in their hearts
(from “The Willow”) They despised my roots that swallowed fertile earth. Saying my being was from the body that swallowed a sordid, vicious secret.
(from "The Faithful Heart") Couldn't get closer to anything with staying still, so I got scared when I saw a bad poetry. At the heads of fools, gonna gather bones of peaches and throw'em, and then giggle and laugh for you sons of bitches.
(from "a candlelight") there's a candlelight in my heart that always precariously flickers with their own eyes with their own blue lines it's a meaningless world for truth say their own eyes, say their own blue lines, but my candlelight would never flicker like this ravingly if they're right
