방문했던 좋아하는 장소가 있나요? 어디인가요?
I don’t have many places I really like.
Pretty cafés, soft music, cozy interiors—
they’re fine for a moment, but I don’t feel like staying long.
I like my home.
Door closed, just me, quiet air sitting in the room.
That feels like my default setting.
But if I had to choose one place outside of home,
it would be the mountain.
The mountain is a little different.
When I go there, I can get hit by electricity.
It’s not something you can see.
A single frequency drops in through the top of my head,
like it’s coming through a small hole in the sky.
It runs inside my skull, taps the back of my neck,
and turns on circuits that had been asleep.
It has never gone below my throat,
but wherever that line reaches, things come into focus a little more.
Sometimes, when my heart starts to go dull,
I go to the mountain to get my charge.
A few small waves are enough.
Just that much, and I can go back to being myself again.
