Korean culture dictates that when a person dies away from home, their spirit will remain unsettled and thereby become a ‘wandering ghost.’ The only way to save the spirit from eternal unrest and wandering is for the person who was last in contact with the body before it passed to participate in an ancient ritual to put the spirit at rest.

- planning your search for a city
- wandering ghost
- mirror
- spatter
- ate him up from head to toe
- fled like arrows from the taut string
- what are you
- each one is new only once
- her voice was a man
- the smoothness of oil
- temperature shock
- even when lived in
- lights must never
- ready to go smash
- false azure
- while you loved me
