Slee-p

By: Yongwoo Kim

I am waiting for you
But you are not coming to me this midnight
so I draw letters while I await
This stage is not only for the waiting
This stage exists to pour out the undulations
so cherished in my mind

My eleventh finger zealously plays on a white plan
It dances to express my soliloquy
My second mouth shouts out
soundlessly toward the world

When I get absorbed in this stage
I become blind, and start acting paranoid

Some time passes by
Now I can feel you watching over me
and I hear you approaching

Please hug me,
even for a short time
I am exhausted from my battles, today, too
I'd like to lean on you, in your cozy bosom

But promise me one thing
Before the sunrise
Please run away from me

When I open my eyes
you must be out of my sight
