앞서

Precedence is a quiet room entered before the lamps are named.
The first mark is not louder. It is simply impossible to ignore.
먼저: a threshold, a command, a gold line drawn through dark water.
Everything that follows learns its shape from what arrived before.

Before the chorus, before the current, before the door remembers its hinge — there is the first gleam.
