Love in Our Time

Whenever life felt overwhelming, I would open it once more.
That’s how Choi Seung-ja’s poetry collections always are.
She has turned into poetry the very words I wanted to say but could never easily bring myself to speak.

There is no one.
Everyone goes away.
And on a day I cannot foretell,
I will once again begin a fatal love,
and I will go.
