an Echo from nowhere

I have this scar from when I was two years old, 
June 11, 1998

It is the birthmark to me
It is the scar to others

I lived with the untellable, yet it is perfectly tellable through itself

It is alive, yet it is dead
It is my being; it is my suffering
It is my self-evidence; it is my self-defense

It can never be complete or eliminative,
yet it is always restored

It is the scar
It is the scar I have become




‘disoriented’ means repeating the action 
and hunting the location again and again 
for being in the maze, which is exactly
‘Echo’.

It is the ‘Echo’ I named for my self.
I repeated these lines, brushes, and texture,
over and over again, it’s exactly what I’m
doing.
It should fade away, but it just cannot

It is my beautiful silence, 
my ignorance and innocence

It is my dignity flattened by mankind ruthlessly

I am not able to sense
because I am thoroughly desensitized
It is a beautifully seductive aura
with imperceptibly camouflaged signs

I am enjoying it
I never notice it

an Echo from nowhere
