Letter To Our Beloved Car

Traveling birds
Shifting seasons
Are reflected on your front glass

This is a usual scene every morning
That day, too
Before bringing our children to school

That day, though
You didn't come home
Injured severely on the road

A few days later
You were back

Your white butterfly like eyes
Looked sad
Appealing that you wanted to work more

The shattered face does not match to your slinky black body

Daddy will get you to hospital

Wait till then

The horn from trains CT and NY lines
Sympathetic and respectful
for our car who had been in service
for more than 20 years

Perception of the Grasses

In this field,
There have already been many gathering,
All are mere living skeletons;
Their flesh gone completely
Only by their nerves
Do they try to seize their souls floating in the air

However, please do not worry
For their bodies still know
How to keenly perceive the world around them
They are ready for standing patiently
With their feet covered with snow
Until spring comes

Existence of nervous system reaching out into nothingness where
Only incredible Will exists
I dropped to my knees 
To let it be mine

Whereabouts of Tears

Looking at the page of the book
I got to know where our tears went;
were vaporized in the air
Sublimated to be white crystals and snowed;

On a dim stage
These snows were transformed into human figures;
Dancing lightly and solemnly
In a ceremony of purification;

The universe
Wished all the tears of sadness to vanish away;
Wished all the tears sublimated and
All hope for the happiness is heard;

Appreciating the encounter with their dance
I stepped forward

Soft Bullet

A man attracted to the sound of waves
Ended up to live in the lighthouse
Since then
His job is to hang the things
Floating in the ocean

At this port
Ships come in from all over the world
Some travel on the sea of tears
Of hearts that have never reached to their beloved ones
And fell into the salty waters

Hearts, shaped like soft worn-out bullets
Are picked up by the light house keeper
Every time he hears the sound of them falling
And floating in the ocean
He goes out there
To pick them up
Wit his big and thick hands

Then he waits
Until the hearts are dried
Until the tears of the lingering attachment
Are evaporated
And they make a lively dry rustling sound

What the light house keeper is concerned with is
That he must find someone
Who will succeed the job
Which he has been going 
For more than seventy years

I'm thinking to recommend 
That he ask the captains
Married to ships all over the world

Cranberry Park

This sky dome
Held by thousands of threads 
of sunshine,
Is a musical instrument;

Its sounds pour out when 
Life flips its strings;

Dragonflies are the first 
to make the light high-pitched tone;

Swallows are next
Rapid, cheerful notes emitted
From their aerodynamic bodies;

Then appears a father pushing the stroller
Carefully and affectionately
A sweet melody starts to fill the air
Resonating within the hemisphere;

This is, seemingly, the first day of Autumn,
And I am filled with light and love

Algonquinsaurs-After the Hurricane

Through an ice age
Now the icebound world was completely 
Melted to show the bone structure of
Algonquinsaurs

No head
The bone structure is
Pushed to the ground
By his two skinny legs

Who was he?

-Was he just a baby who's about to stand up and to run around the prairie?
-a being about collapse under the extreme anxiety?
-or a human who desperately tried to prove that he surely had lived here just before his death?

The ice age will come again

-Are you going to freeze your internal passion?
-Are you going to melt the ice with your passion?

The life is short

You

Rise from the ground!

Fire Fly

Seeing it’s dim light 
I feel relieved 

The sun is too strong 
The moon is too far away 
The stars are too glittering 
The headlights are too blazing 
The taillights make me too emotional 
The street lamps are too objective 
The lights from the office buildings are too oppressive 
The room light is too broad 
The desk lamp is too direct 
The flashlight is too tense
and 
The fireworks are too grandiose....

But a firefly
is a reminder
It's OK to show a modest light
In the darkness, then, 
We see you
We know you,
and you remind us
We are also the light

Snowed Rectangle

The road is never ending rectangle
Each of us roll out its own path

"A Journey of a thousand miles
begins with one step" Lao Tzu

Anger Or Angel

Vermilion red is my blood
The anger was the mortal weapon

Stubbed, all of me scattered

Hey, at the end of "anger"
Use "l" from "love"
Instead of "r" from "rage"

Yes, you ARE an angel

Fly and collect all pieces of you

"Sleep with angels"

My mother's voice resonates in me.

Thus, the Bird Spoke

When the bird took a rest
To put down his wing
On the soil
He already ended his life

Through thirty thousand years
The most part of his wing
Returned to the land
But the bone was left
Which is bathed
In ephemeral sunlight of
North America

The discovery of the bones
Immediately ran around the world
Famous and non-famous pianists
Offered their compositions
As his requiem

Listening to them
He made a vow:
Be born again, and play
Those beautiful compositions
By himself
