SO CHONG-JU'S JOURNEY

You say
it's only words
in the valley
which rises as roses
being as mums
and mute
in fragrance
releasing petals
and more phrases
aware of every stem
as an original
in your photo
as an ex ray
of the ox
you want to name
as he circles you
and the radiant sun
overhears the sparows
drives through the dawn
in a lotus position.
