Dad was a slave, no dead of night to bring him back
Date flower, my leek-root grandmother was all that stood
Mother expecting craved green fruit
Adobe wind-screens, under oil lamp
Black fingernails of her son
Her father out to sea or the peasants revolt
His thick hair and large eyes I take after
So I was told
It was the wind that raised me four out of five
The world an embarrassment through and through
Some read sinner in my eyes and move on
Some read idiot on my lips and move on
I shall never feel sorry
Brilliance in the crack of dawn
In the dew that pearl my brow
Drops of blood
Star or shade
Like no hangdog with a loose tongue
I’ve always come a-panting

O, C was sensitive, in an irritable kind of way, and, having an extremely acute sense of his surroundings, had the potential to be a most volatile prick, especially in the opening hours of his waking life. D was more messy, and noisier, one to litter with his traces and fill with sound the space he occupied, as if oblivious to their effects on the world, if not to demonstrate inflection of some kind that betrayed person freedom—something libertarian maybe. They lived together, sharing a two-room studio with shared entrance, which also happened to be the only path to the washroom.

We had founded Eden of our own, our haven for corrupted innocence, around a well of joyous tears with which we anointed each other. Of secrets where nothing but our memory alone could gain access, not even God. I remember, how i kicked the trunk of a sycamore tree to release rain from its foliage and shower over us, how her face split open into a wild smile then—all teeth and gum—in surprise and ecstatic wonder, mirroring my own maybe. That smile, all of this, a memory that is now solely my own, explodes into millions of pixels, and I'm rent in all directions. I feel so dizzy I can hardly lie...

No one
Through the back door that was left open, the breeze, like me, invited itself in. Sheer curtains billowing in the threshold, the children seemed to have disappeared.

"i knew as we were walking across the bridge in the bluish light that this would be a moment i would remember fondly and achingly, if i were to find myself one day without ___. That, if one day I found myself in a dark grueling tunnel again, which i would know will eventually terminate, i shall look forward to another day in the bluish light, crossing a bridge with someone different, who too i will remember for as long as my sanity remained in the material world. "

뽀린 자전거의 질주
불사 맞바람의 충돌
실눈의 칼 같은 결의
이것은 너를 바라볼때의
나의 영상, 너의 괴도.
입가에 울려 퍼지는 잔잔한 파도
그리고
그 미소의 대반향
대체 어디로 향하는 거냐고.
뚤어지라 짖어대는 가슴의 행방,
난 그런거 모른다우

Tract under sole
Turtles they shadow your steps
Shells beige they break under
The knowns the ones we've sown
Paintings and sculptures
Littered with your hands
I scream and water fall
Shells beige they break under
The knowns the ones we've sown
Paintings and sculptures
Littered with your hands
I scream and water fall

The telephone at your parents' rings. No one else there, you answer.
A digitally generated female voice—artificial, without lilt, and cold—speaks: This is an international call. Your landline will be terminated today. Your landline will be terminated today. Your landline will be terminated today. Your landline will be terminated today...

Salivation II
A coda to my mother's diary, her sole surviving item. Its leather-bound surface was charred by the flames, which, according to those who were present, resembled enormous cloven tongues rising up from the earth, licking savagely out towards salvation just out of reach. So I am told; I can imagine the dark heavy clouds in the vespertine sky, bloated with a brood of our economy, black and blue like my buffeted mother, the impending squall to bury in hail the serpentine orgy of spirits, just moments too late.

Mother of god
Father if god
Die sonne the daughter
Daughter named Paloma
Insults make distinctions
The faucet a fountain
You pay for the shadow
Dr tremble
Game in which you are surgeon
So any plans so little hands
Hear the grandmother play keyboard in headphones
Listen to the rhythm
Let it guide your melody
Listen to the rhythm
Let it guide your melody
Silent rain

A night away from the city, we lay down by a lake and stargaze in silence. At some point, making sure that no one hears me, quietly I spoke: "I
give you ten seconds if you can hear me right now". Listen, when the count hit five, I swear, like a
laceration that is healed as soon as it is inflicted, the brightest shooting
star flashed across the sky.

"The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes. It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment."

"For centuries after antiquity, friendship was a very important kind of social relation: a social relation within which people had a certain freedom, certain kind of choice (limited of course), as well as very intense emotional relations. There were also economic and social implications to these relationships -- they were obliged to help their friends, and so on. I think that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we see these kinds of friendships disappearing, at least in the male society. And friendship begins to become something other than that. You can find, from the sixteenth century on, texts that explicitly criticize friendships as something dangerous.
The army, bureaucracy, administrations, universities, schools, and so on -- in the modern senses of these words -- cannot function with such intense friendships. I think there can be seen a very strong attempt in all these institutions to diminish or minimize the affectional relations. I think this is particularly important in schools."

뽕은 가장 한국적인 영화다.민화가 중국의 수묵화와 확실히 구별되는 한국적인것과 같은 이유다
이어령교수가 가장 한국적인 것을 기호라는 상징으로써 한과 신바람을 예로든다...
그것은 단군신화의 웅녀부터 춘향전까지...
한이 서려있지만, 그에대한 복수없이 그저 신바람으로 승화시키는게 우리네 이야기다...
나에게 한을준 대상에게 끝까지 복수하는 일본과 다르다...
춘향이가 변사또에게 복수하지 않고 심봉사가 뺑덕어멈을 복수하지 않는다
한을 신바람으로과장된 익살과 해학으로 승화시킨 이 영화는 그래서 가장 한국적인 영화이다
이 영화를 무슨 저질 3류영화로 치부하는 인생들이야 말로 자신의 무식을 깨닫길 바란다

Energetic Waist
Better spent gorging something -- anything -- than missing material.
Rising to set in the future, we too travel
incensed
none over tidings
maudlin no longer
Green birds and lions
Strike fear into their hearts
Let them die in the same hell they were born
concomitant snowmelt
Chinese busloads
Respiration obstructed
brawny
foghorn dirge

수면의 깊이
만약 저 파란 하늘에 침을 힘껏 뱉는다 하면
눈시울은 달아오르고
세상은 뭉그러 질 태지요
길떠나 봤자
동네 한 바퀴
약속시간 한 마디 늦춰지고
다시 또 차 오르겠죠
썰렁한 바람 씨익
스치면 짙게 붉 히는 개 한 소절
더 이상 사유도 뭐도 없이
오로지 앞날 만을 떠올려 볼까 합니다
기다려봐요
이름도 잊은채
빛 바랜 저 하늘 아래
스카이라인 서서히 넘어 마침 잠겨버릴
그 찰나 떠오르는 이 몸 덩어리 우리 같이 꼬옥 붙잡 고요
눈시울은 달아오르고
세상은 뭉그러 질 태지요

Message in a Coke Bottle
If your memories formed a sea
She would be a lost anchor
Sunken deep where no life may sleep
Where no light can breach
The silence between us
Evil
For the comfort of flowering bosoms
Evergreen drive for the uncharted
Mast in the woods, caked sneakers and holes
Soiled face at war with the immaculate garden
Weatherproof
Are we just kids
Still
There's whispered courage in your eyes
ma, maA? MaA? Ma!
If your memories formed a sea
She would be a lost anchor
Sunken deep where no life may sleep
Where no light can breach
The silence between us
Evil
For the comfort of flowering bosoms
Evergreen drive for the uncharted
Mast in the woods, caked sneakers and holes
Soiled face at war with the immaculate garden
Weatherproof
Are we just kids
Still
There's whispered courage in your eyes
ma, maA? MaA? Ma!
Honey Bee
Why don't you first harvest then
Home
Don't you regret what you find
In weathered pockets
For us there is no future
Right now
For you, I can't surrender
For I am already dead
pandering angles
A newborn is about the size of a
croissant, weighs less than a cup of coffee, and is about 900 times smaller
than its mother.

These pariahs today shall perish. They are far too bright
Through the clammy air, I see your malar flush potentiate this nightly gloom. I will not bite this glum plum, its curious kernel like the almond-shaped matter in the back of our heads.
Dear cosmic sadness, you disgorge the cardinal humors of others. And I seethe in them. Over my left one, I will put on your staunch leather thong--my tourniquet, my soiled and crimped little helper.
Listen to the blackened reprisal, another sebaceous movement from which we shall rise again to walk among those lurid pariahs of tomorrow

"From now on, you've got to pay attention to how you look," she said when they were back in the car. As he stared at the ravaged hands clutching the wheel, Gal felt they belonged to someone else. "You've got to be fashion-conscious," she was saying. "Fashion is the silliest, vainest game there is, which is exactly why it's so much fun. Do you know what clothes and makeup are for? Why we put them on? Just to take them off, to have something to strip away in order to feel naked. They are there to evoke what can’t be seen. But that, of course, is the joke, because when you strip off the clothes and wash all that makeup, what do you have? Hairstyle."
