To live is difficult. Even without anyoneโs malice, we sufferโ often from the discrepancy between situations and our expectations.
A piece of my heart is thrown into the deep well at every life event. The heart is too heavy for me to carry. The unseen pieces of the heart are belittled, as if they donโt exist if they are not seen. They are uncared for. They stagnate in the well. They rot.
The well floods one day. The stench is unbearable. I go through each of the decomposed pieces. These ghosts must have had a body once, a name. They have already deteriorated into a huge single lump, difficult and aching. I, as the biggest perpetrator, study these lumps on paper, naively hoping that one day the well would clear out.

quake | ๊ธด ๋ฐค (๋ถ์)
The night multiplies forever in the silent noise and the heart bubbles up with anxiety. The darkness flooding the space covers the trembling body. But this blanket is too heavy โ it suffocates.

birthday | ์์ผ็ๆฅ
Yesterday may have been a failure or success, one may have been sad or happy. Nevertheless, we are promised a new morning everyday until the day our breath ceases โ we are (re)born in the everyday opportunity to live a new life until the death. I celebrate the birth-day, the things we live, love and endure once again today.

still life | ๊ฐ๋งํ ์๋ ์
The still โlife,โ from its corner, slowly blinks its countless eyes and watches things afar. It sits and watches, then rots.
It is a reflection of myself.
