she never used her mouth to chat
on that day was
as quiet as the land
where only
one person had settled,
i gave her a strange bracelet to
wear only in memory
she smiled.
i knew someone who had walked a few steps
even after death
i went to his grave and brought the hearthstone
we cooked some wild tubers
after a wild feast, she smiled.
in that winter
i preferred some warm-hot water to set up spring
she played and smiled.
we sat under a tree that had heart-shaped leaves
she drew a girl and placed a leaf in the place of the heart
i also pierced eight or nine leaves layers on my shirt
later i knelt down
and gave the green hearts one by one
her face glowed like seeing the sun even after it had set
i said
no matter how many hearts
will give it all to you
i had more to say might not verbalize it all
the only use of our body is to be in the word
every star in the sky will call us tonight
she smiled, at first,
the venus blinked with the color of love
i put my ears near her eyes and felt the sound of love.
