By Writing, By Carving
In the toneless world,
in the world
where invisible fears confront me,
my heart started to carve letters
with impatience
I hope that
lost tones come back to me,
by writing letters, by carving letters
I hope that
invisible fears vanish,
by writing letters, by carving letters
I hope that
someone confirms that
I exist in the world,
by writing letters, by carving letters
My heart can’t make any melodies,
can’t resound any melodies
But my heart may be able to resound letters,
in the corner of someone’s heart
