The 13th Day
The searchlight
torn by a razor
The sun wore a conical hat
The murdered piano
The bloodstain,
It is dancing music
A turning point,
It is the thorny-erupted crossing
Photographic paper wails like a siren,
the storytelling of a camera.
A montage is laughing.
제13일
면도칼에 찢긴
서치라이트
태양이 고깔모자를 썼다
살해된 피아노
핏자국
춤을 추는 악보다
터닝포인트는
가시 돋친 건널목
인화지가 사이렌을 울린다
카메라의 스토리텔링
몽타주가 웃고 있다
A Designer
Tie the sun with a rope
디자이너
태양을 밧줄로 묶는다
Light
It is delirium.
빛
착란이다
