Black hair & Green eyes

"Happy birthday chap!"

Dad..

"생일 축하해요, 올리버!~"

Mom..

 

Running across the lavender fields behind our house Father's cracky house paint Irish hard rains with thunders Smooth crashing waves and rocky coasts Cries of the seagulls Dark depths of the oceans Times sailing the seas Freshly cooked korean food My father's kari Duke's happy barks

Long dog walks Sucking on the nettles' nectar Magenta sky of the dusks Mom's marzipan cake My devil halloween constume Sneaking for a snack in the middle of the night Unpacking Mr. Tooth for the first time Lovely scent of a herb pillow Loud and scary bee hives Painful thistles falls Smooth airplane rides Silent streets of Bukchon Hanok Village Sudden smell of a chloroformed handkerchief Sterile feeling Extraneous white clean walls Uncomfortable hospital beds Indirect eye contact Loud escalating bee buzzing Sleepless crying nights Morning examinations Psychologist's theater Guns' cold barrels leaned over my head Moments of complete oblivion Taste of iron in my mouth

Taste of blood in my mouth

Terrfying nightmares Piercing emerald eyes in the dark Years of unyielding and insatiable hunger

Succumbing to dread and self-hatred MY obscure monster Ophidiophobia Lively Boston streets Tasty junk food Jeremy's kari

Black blood blackouts

Dizzy bloody mornings Midnight hunting Strong feelings of regret Anxiety Lonely afternoon park walks Drunken bench slothing That black fox

Feeling of the world crumbling before me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the very beginning to the end of your first life. Happy birthday, Oliver. It's not over yet.
