ode to a lost seoul

일몰
feel your pull 
tu luz 
too loose
for me to comprehend
close my eyes
take me back to when
persimmons and pomegranates stained your skyline

오미자
oh you are
a dream i swirled in my cup
sticky sweetness a testimony to times gone by
skeletal towers presenting a path to the sky 
i sipped you to the very last drop
consumed you all but i couldn’t stop
ta chaleur dans mes os
a memory i can’t let go so
you linger on my tongue still

일출
homogenous people
leave your dreams at the door
know you can never wish for more
carried down cancerous capillaries 
defined by dystopian reality
сейчас сижу у твоей реки 
i see
everything we lost

서울
i miss your soul
how many spirits have you destroyed?
pageantry and puppetry we are but your toys
frameworks for existence pressing in
turn to debased desires 
origin of sin
dévoyés
tous noyés 
why wait when we know
our bodies will sink to the depths below
nourish otters we never knew existed

love you all,
