(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 "it was an act of death")
I was in the house
I stayed there
embracing death wasn't only beautiful
'cause it was so hot and my
whole body was shaking
everything suddenly became strange
something was rotting in the stomach
into the mouth
something kept flowing
it was an act of death
death, covered with foolish vice
that was firmly clutching a miserable-shaped apple
I was death
life no longer existed
(from "The Age of Peace")
As they pulled out her elbow,
indulgence flared up with heat
As the roar died down,
fear seeped into the void
Above it stretched humility with shallow roots
As they broke his knee,
arrogance was sucked
deep into the ground with pus
As the fury subsided,
shame crept into the void
Below it grew a leech as tenacious as tar,
gripping the earth with
a heavy and heavy
and obsessive hold
The suspicious limp swaying of the arms,
the pathetic dawdling of the legs,
no longer carried the plague
The world still looked strange,
but at last it was at peace.
(from "When Spring Came, the Teacup Broke")
When spring came,
the teacup broke
Tears welled up
in the wind
The wind blew
and silence fell
And without shadows
the world is always
a bright
day
Blind faith
blights us
so the face disapproved
of my death
In my last moments,
the back gradually became distant
The face
wasn't seen
The other
face was also
When spring came,
the teacup broke
Silence, wind, solitude,
nothing allowed.
(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 "my secret place")
in my most secret place
there's an ugly secret hidden so my eyes
had always glistened, but now the whole earth
collapsed, the atmosphere frozen,
bodies that unsightly entangled rolling
over the frozen wasteland, and my eyes
no more glisten and my ugly secret
is no longer a secret and my most
secret place lost its meaning.
(from "the breathing")
shadows waving in layers
beneath the blue lights
were blackened
and the silence
with a deafening symphony
was frozen
only the breathing
breaks the ice of silence
like a cry of a bird
glimmering deeply and unstably
in this huge world
I am left alone
I am left alone.
the cold silence
the desolate darkness
the breathing piercing the air
in that suffocating swell
I am left alone
I am left alone.
sinking is
not a bad thing
(from "The Attack of the Spiders")
feathery, so painful time
and the neglected death, they mixed
their bodies up with full of excite-
ment and plug the cavity
now what we have left
are the spider traps shining beautif-
ully and the ever-festering toes;
and then the empty scales trapped in the repeat signs
(from "normal people")
who don't know how to close eyes
and to play dumb in front of injustice,
who don't talk about greed, but justice,
who disclose the unreasonable matters
that have no bearing on their own comfort,
who are not useful to themselves, above all,
who recoginize the slightest hint of their stupidity,
they never forgive those at all.
(from "Social Animals")
What's the most depressing is
To hear hopeful words
From their feigned concern;
If they don't see with their own eyes
They never believe or even
Imagine something in you
And if you hurry to dance
To their tune to shut their mouths
They eventually fail to contain
Their sincerity, just burst into a laugh.
(from "the flaming stillness")
time flows like water
mother died one day
nights go deeper and deeper
when night comes, every past
and future death comes
along with darkness
and silence
no longer human 'cause
couldn't save the cat while
drifting under the scorching sun
though a boat trapped in hell of stillness
isn't allowed to have a heart,
being soaked in the sea of oblivion
caused committing an indelible sin
tears of the unqualified
are just like
sounds
everything
is just
like cavity
and regret
(from 'a wilderness')
in the middle of the world's darkest and most solitary wilderness,
I am just standing still alone.
I cannot sink down.
I have to keep looking
for the light, which is invisible.
as the frigid wind blows,
I tore all the clothes
I was wearing to shreds.
I couldn't get over it without shivering
and feeling the cold more
and more severely.
