a day is a crossing
TICKET SLIP · 나루
wait until
the rope loosens
At the old landing, every hour is printed crookedly. The paper remembers rain, thumbprints, and the small permission to leave one bank behind.
MIDSTREAM · 12:18
listen to the water
between errands
the opposite shore waits without calling
REED RAIN · shelter bell
rain writes
in vertical reeds
Silver beads slide down the waiting room glass. Beyond them, reeds bow and rise, making a gate only the ferry knows how to open.
LANTERN ARRIVAL · far shore
arrive quieter
than you left
Night gathers under the planks. The orange bead returns to the name, and the crossing closes softly behind you.
