Prayer and urban noise collide inside the same poem.

Intimacy, self-staging, anxious affection, and rising desire appear in quick succession across these poems. Candor and irony coexist, and the short pieces cut sharply into emotional instability.

Its intimate voice never settles for sweetness alone; it leaves instability behind.

Starting from a disquieting memory of a lesson, the poem turns bodily sensation and erotic charge into verbal rhythm. From an ordinary classroom scene, a poetic field of desire and humor emerges.

A classroom memory turns into a strong rhythm of body and desire.
