Wind, Wind — You Stray

 [Title: Wind, Wind — You Stray]

Stage 2 — English / Son

Wind, Wind — You Stray

[INTRO]

You don’t vanish only when you die.

I’m alive—

and still,

I’m not here.

[VERSE]

Days keep passing

Yet I don’t live in them

The sun

only burns for me

The world

engulfs my name.

Gravity

Holds me in place

So

I become

something the world has never had:

someone who isn’t here.

Even I

can’t find me—

in a maze,

into the maze,

deeper,

deeper—

I’m lost.

I breathe,

but the wind steals it,

saying that no one owns it.

A heartless wind

throws me around

without mercy—

and still,

I feel you.

The only one who chased me

You—

like a first love.

I reach for you,

I chase you,

I try to hold you—

you shake my heart loose,

then—without looking back—

(whish—whoosh) (whirl—whish)

you slip right through.

[OUTRO]

Where will you go,

again— (a brief hush)

to go astray?

Wind, Wind — You Stray

[INTRO]

You don’t vanish only when you die.

I’m alive—

and still,

I’m not here.

[VERSE]

A day

kills my day.

The sun

burns my sun.

Gravity

locks up my heart.

The world

eats my name.

So

I become

something the world has never had:

someone who isn’t here.

Even I

can’t find me—

in a maze,

into the maze,

deeper,

deeper—

I hide.

I breathe,

but the wind steals it,

saying: no one owns it.

A toothless wind

can’t swallow me,

so it mouths at me,

groping, again and again.

A boneless wind

throws me around

without mercy—

and still,

I feel you.

You—

like a first love.

I reach for you,

I chase you,

I try to hold you—

you shake my heart loose,

then—without looking back—

(whish—whoosh) (whirl—whish)

you slip right through.

[OUTRO]

Where will you go,

again— (a brief hush)

to stray?

[바람 바람 피다]

1:31 PM 12/28/2025

아들과 함께 둑 6마일 정도 달리기를 하면서
(While running about six miles along the levee with my son,)

이런저런 생각들.
(this and that passed through my mind.)

달리기를 하면 잡생각이 도망가는데, 오늘은 이것저것 삶 속 잡생각들이 

나를 잡아먹을 듯 덤빈다.
(Usually when I run, stray thoughts run away.
But today, all sorts of thoughts from life came at me as if they were going to eat me alive.)

[바람 바람 피다]

하루가 

나의 하루를 죽인다.

태양이

나의 태양을 태운다.

중력이

나의 마음을 가둔다.

세상이

나의 존재를 먹는다.

그래서

나는 세상에 없는 존재가 된다.

사람이

죽어야만 존재가 사라지는 게 아냐?

분명히

살아있는 나지만 나는 존재하지 않아.

나도 

나를 찾을 수 없는 미로 속에,

미로 속으로

점점 더 깊은 미로 속으로 빨려 들어가 숨는다.

숨은 쉬는데, 

주인 없다며 바람이 훔쳐 먹어.

이빨 없는 바람이 나는 

먹지 못해 오물거리듯 만지고

뼈 없는 바람이 나를

내동댕이쳐대지만,

나는 너를 느끼며

첫사랑 같은 너를

이리저리 붙잡아 보지만,

내 맘 흔들어 놓고

미련 없이 

쌩~휘리릭~ 

지나가는 얇미운 너.

어디 가서 

또

바람필 거지?
