“Unfair World”
most of me is the crescent moon.
most of you is the full moon.
my uncountable hopes are the most vulnerable
in the powdery world.
your unchained desire is the brightest
in the snowy world.
when you shine,
i sigh.
even when i vanish,
you glow.
“Immortal”
Like snowflakes kiss the ground,
you kiss my nape.
Like frost decorates
the surface of a leaf,
I decorate your lips
with my touch.
Even if cold flows into our lungs,
we never stop craving.
Even if cruelty resounds
through our sanctuary,
we never stop wanting.
Tattoos thaw on my skin.
The scent of my perfume
spreads over your skin.
