https://t.co/7PqEyGK7xP Reader, I’ve sold you my story. I am what you think
wrongly, half-beast, half-boy, too weak to carry
your pastoral flag, your mule-ride, cash strapped
belly-side.

https://t.co/SHlvFM6Ojp Did the animals hiding in their holes see how unafraid I was?
Holding the severed heads of weeds in my fists,
I imagined their seeds breaking through the soil

other children, I was one of the lucky ones––
at least one of my parents loved me enough to stay.

was knighted my name as a foal without a sex
by a father who chartered a flight in ’81 to 미국,
beautiful land, to marry eyes as blue and distant
as the Pacific.

This is a poem about a fire that should have happened.
You will remember thinking to yourself that you cannot stay in your body.
Maybe our timeline is broken.

https://t.co/g1xtHajmEr “Polyptoton” means repetition of words derived from the same root.
Some of us have no roots.
Here is an example of polyptoton: “The refugee was lost in a fugue state.”

https://t.co/g1xtHajmEr @seoyoung_chu @aaww Seo-Young, thank you so much for your trust, and the honor of reading & sharing your work!!! ❤️‍🔥 The fire in this poem, I assure you, is purely figurative.
In this poem, I turn his book to ash.
This is a poem that was written by the fire.
I am the fire that wrote the poem you’re reading.

springing gnarled roots to crumple Sungei Road.
He spoke to me with tendrils of rot, the grip of the grave
stilling his speech, so I had no idea what he did at Sungei Road.
