Spring inSeoul

If you are looking for me
and all you find is a number of steps
left on soft garden grass

I have gone
to find the blossoms

To wipe the numbers of days

When winter and distance

Took smiles away.
A flutter of pink returns them today

Fly in fly out

Midnight heat melting on black tarmac
Miles of desert bushes on the red horizon
Cicadas’ songs travel over the empty river.
Around the campfire, singing every song we know
Soul to warm

Original Poems

Autumn after the holiday

over the edge of the water

day’s end fire

canons of silvery power

emptying the beach

from my shoe

in the morning dew

only the stone smell remembers

washed skies

drops of laughter

of summer rain

squares rainbow row

beach huts dotting the edge

edge of the water melt in the sky

Winds swing by

White foams on my toes

bright and steady horizon line

eyes drifting away

white water on cold fingers

after the holiday

sand in my pocket

COVID Swallow my Universe

My home embraced me like a motherly cocoon of love and suffocated me by the same amount during this lockdown. The humming noise of distant factories and the occasional passing car punctuated the new calm atmosphere. I slowly rose from my cozy bed and began making my morning coffee. My cat, a fluffy ball of contentment, rolled to my feet, her happiness seemingly dependent on my presence.

With the world outside quieted my mind wandered freely through the corridors of my thoughts. I realised I had never had so much time to drift around in my head. I dreamt of far-off journeys over parched fields and strolling along a country road, the air heavy with the dusty sweetness of ripe raspberries.

The computer on my desk started making a low humming noise, connecting me to the world beyond my walls. It could also connect me to other people's minds, like strands of a spider's web wobbling in the vast expanse of virtual space. It felt like computers had swallowed the universe, and we, like fragile bubbles, were being swept by the turbulent currents of dark news, oscillating between hope and desperation with each passing moment.
