Wrapped and tied by time.

I felt it seep,

into the world around me.

Always taking never giving.

As it absorbed… slowly.

It pushed the pins,

of the past into the realm,

of my present.

To escape the things,

I store away.

Lids of my sight close,

to view an asian forest.

Riddled with bamboo,

with filter of green and dusk

I feel myself sleeping,

near coy and a soft brook.

I dreamt I was a white wolf

in a green asian forest.

Hunting my brother.

The wolf dark with time.

He was where darkness seeks,

to infect and seep.

I feel myself breathing,

deeper and deeper.

Slowly, the darkness around,

lifts enough and calms.

Stillness, and the light song of evening.

I feel myself calming, breathing,

and letting go.

CommonLit | Total Control in North KoreaNorth Korea is a country on the Korean Peninsula of East Asia that is run by an authoritarian government, meaning it has strong central power that limits political freedoms. Today’s North and South Korea were once treated as one political unit, annexed by the Empire of Japan from 1910 until the end of World War II. Following World War II, the USSR occupied North Korea and the United States occupied South Korea with the goal of reuniting them, a goal that failed in 1948 when the regions became two separate states. These two states went to war from 1950 to 1953 before reaching a ceasefire. The Kim dynasty has led North Korea from 1948 until today, with three successive supreme leaders: Kim Il-sung (1948-1994), Kim Jong-il (1994-2011), and Kim Jong-un (2011-present).
