Alone Quotes | Forward this Picture
Being alone with Eun Ji
I’m five down dead in red
I bend where the sun hits
I shift to gain access
To the bursting shadows
Voyeuristic to your ghosts
The rains is like a lullaby
But the blood of a writer
Eun Ji, I’m a secret manifestation
Of your psyche, both silent
And wounded in existence
Both everything and nothing
For your eternity of being
And there is a vague red trail
Leading from my life to yours
It’s like an avalanche of nostalgia
When you shudder I feel light-headed
In this way, I have swallowed
The memories of someone else
And I would gladly color your body
But after all those dreams of dying
We learned to love dying
In each other’s arms, disguised
Like lonely vehicles to murder the world
Our solitude didn’t make us crazy
It just reminded us who we were
And for that I am lonely:
Loneliness is not being alone
It’s to love another’s soul
To no avail, but I have time
Time to tangle myself into
The spiral veins of your inner voice
Maybe the only voice
That can reach me now
And I write about you because
I’m scared of writing, however
I’m more scared of not writing
Eun ji, in my mind you have become a poem
But I cannot stop writing or speaking
Because you amplify the my inner Asian-ness
And the zero-point of all poetic intent in me.
