gray clouds dangled
from the dark Seoul sky and pinched
the peaks of the Namsan mountain. Wind galloped
across the city, thrusted by the skyscrapers closing in,
scattered by the pillars of my balcony. Moonlight burned
the white clouds black.
Streaks of pure white crackled
against a stormy blanket of grey, as if a camera flash
which had engulfed everything at once. The flash
of lightning broke the utter blackness,
cleaving the night in parts. It slit through the grove
of oak trees, painting the landscape in hues of red.
