(from "What the Azure Smoke Tells Me") sunlight which was so bright that could draw in bloods from vampires' lips with their curses
(from "Rotten") A hole in the huge wooden table A rotten tooth what went into the hole But because there was so much darkness, people kept putting their hands in it. It looked funny so that the boy sat still and laughed, then they angrily beat thim and dragged him by the hand.
(from "the most stale and old value")
what people are passionate about
is the most stale and old value
now the absolute truth left for them
is only what they hate the most
a swarm of infested maggots
over the rotting bodies
over their unpleasantly cold bodies
because
their deaths would be most immoral
(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 "fragments of ennui")
grains of white dust, stickily settled on the void
floundering flies, trapped in the air
red bones and damp wet soil
the black nail, cursing its own death
yellow lumps of fat, morbidly
poured into the drain
the caprice of flies and the malice of spiders
the only things that smile at us
in the void on the blade
the power of anxiety, a deadly greed that melts
the brain, among them, what blue anxiety
likes the most, air and resistance
admiration and contempt, something like love and hate,
something like the foolish youthful heart
toward a beast living only on instinct
ideas and trivial jokes
reality, illusions, delusions, ideals
compassion, denial, turning away, darkness
regret, death, loss, past, faith, distrust, doubt
an empty black mouth like the whitened
cloudy eyes of a turtle
Fire, sea, fall.
the sea, always the abject of fear
not even a handful of void
did the sea allow
(from "A Writer and a Lighter") I wanted to set fire to his eyebrows.
But he doesn't have any.
I didn't want any other hairs on his body.
So I threw away my lighter.
Instead, decided to be a writer.
I wanted to set fire to his mind at least.
(from "One Afternoon") lying on the bed where pieces of my lips are scattered, thinking of the short stories of Sait Faik, savoring songs of an inexplicable-named band, wondering if her desperate look in the movie was real,
(from "a candlelight") there's a candlelight in my heart that always precariously flickers with their own eyes with their own blue lines it's a meaningless world for truth say their own eyes, say their own blue lines, but my candlelight would never flicker like this ravingly if they're right
(from "the red rooms")
in front of my house,
there is a street lined with red rooms
out there are the prurient
with lewd hearts
devils are ceaselessly thrashing within them,
mistaking sordid selfishness for wisdom.
