Waves froth and churn, imbuing a vigor
the cold floor does not share.
His youth escaped first, diving
again, over the threshold.
A weary ode to past purple summers
the bruised sun sets holding her lover’s stare.
His neck gave out then,... – by Je Woo Han | 75 Views added 5 months ago

The boardwalk surfaces and the dock dries
Retreating to the creature's snout
the tired visitors land
Flocking to rest on that craggily face
Enjoying salty treats.
The rainbow petals yawn slowly
Creaking open, blinking on occasion

So he got the Cyclops to forge him a new zapper
The Electric Tennis Racket
The Catch-All Bug Annihilator
Dispense divine judgment in one fell sweep
*Hold down the button for full charge*
No need to aim or throw
A single haphazard swing

When snails shed their shyness
their homeless cousins timid still
Spiders invite themselves in for tea
their gifted lattice weave drapes the old TV
When the fog’s faces don’t illicit fear
Cheeks pressed up against the clear pane

Winter gives more than chill;
come his death every year,
resolves his guilt with some goodwill.
Gifting a treat to be reaped, rewarding
those who knew where to sow,
before the snow first fell.
Tips of bright crimson

Does the leaf know it’s being watched when it falls?
Gracefully drifting down,
gently, when it touches the water’s face.
A soft caress, gingerly stroking the pond’s cheek.
Connecting without disturbing the image,
preserving the visage of the... – by Je Woo Han | 108 Views added 11 months ago

Rain pools on the pavement- portals
to a different world. The median
shifts, replaced by a smeared echo
of the traffic lights. Blurred images
blinking red and orange, distorted,
shrinking under the high beam’s scrutiny.

There are the bits and pieces of us,
deep past the green parts of Jamaica Plains,
in the first apartment
on the second floor, like some carcass
of an unfortunate thing,
strung about haphazardly, splayed out

All my shootaz speak Korean,
you’re gonna need subtitles when we question you.
All my brothers tote gunz,
my nation put ‘em in their hands to kill you.
All my homies feel me when I say

the border is... – by Je Woo Han | 91 Views added 1 year ago

Heed now the tale of Theophilus,
a mortal fisherman by trade.
Who took vengeance against the Ocean,
bearing oath under his brother’s name.
“There is enough water in the sea already.”
Proclaimed Theophilus,

Soles discarded, feet bare.
I could feel
each blade of fresh grass
stabbing out between my toes,
pricking my flesh.
Impatient to escape
the soft ground.
I wanted to fall
into the rolling waves of green.
I wanted to drown
