lyrics

note: One Korean-English dictionary defines it as “feeling, love, sentiment, passion, human nature, sympathy, heart.” Although it is complicated to introduce a clear definition of jeong, it seems to include all of the above as well as more basic feelings, such as attachment, bond, affection, or even bondage.

Conviction in the kitchen
deception in the bath.
Collections of diction
remembered from the path.

Overheard your lips say everything you feared
pushing away what’s near.
Everything you love.

Leave me awake
disinterring railroad stakes.
Caught halfway, under the bridge
I didn’t know the paint was red
I didn’t know the paint was.

Modern dance about the spoken word
putting syllables on the traffic and birds
and the photographs that you took of the sky
holding on to the time you said you lied,
said it was alright
standing there on the borderline
alright, alright, alright, ALRIGHT
ALL NIGHT
TOSS AND TURN AND WEEP AND WEAVE
FOUND SECRET DYING THINGS IN THE MUD UNDER THE LEAVES
HOLDING ON PUSHING THROUGH THE SPACES THAT YOU BREATHED
BREATHING ON MY NECK OUTSIDE IN THE STREET

wind whistling through the cracks in the walls
reach out to catch nothing at all

I leave the window open.
