Jiyeon Baek, 22

I keep a jar of dried persimmons on the windowsill and three notebooks full of songs I'll never play. I write about people I've only met for a minute—the old sailor who hummed in minor, the girl who danced on the platform without music. If you're here, maybe you have a song in you too. I'd love to hear it, but I won't ask.

Jiyeon Baek Nobody at the park but me and the maples. I stayed till the light went soft, holding my coffee like it was something important.

Jiyeon Baek Same corner, same cup. The light only lands on this table for about twenty minutes, so I sit in it.

Jiyeon Baek Tripod's been camped in front of the mirror all week, like the apartment's waiting for me to say something. Gray light, dark couch, nothing moving. Maybe that's the take.

Jiyeon Baek The light in here at dinner service does something to the room. I spent most of it watching the glasses catch it instead of talking.

Jiyeon Baek There's a kind of gold that only falls on cobblestones right before evening decides. I walked slow just to hold onto it a second longer.

Jiyeon Baek The old rooftops of Bukchon fold like hands. I walked slow here to match them.

Jiyeon Baek They nudged my hand like they knew me. The barn's seen a hundred afternoons like this, but I'm still learning how to stand still.

Jiyeon Baek Room from the glow, not the noise. This couch and this quiet are my favorite kind of company.

Jiyeon Baek Water stays warm long after the sun gives up. I think I'll remember the way those lights sat on the pool more than anything else.

Jiyeon Baek The tower keeps glowing like it's trying to get my attention. I'm more used to 2 a.m. venue lights, but this feels like a song I haven't written yet.
