    Pages of azure ink. And the man on the waves, feeling his way through the winter, slipping passively beneath the waves, an afterimage in his wake, a woman’s shoulder, belly, breast, the small of her back, the lines tapering to become a mere stroke of the pen, a thread of ink on the thigh, and on the thigh a long, fine
    scar
    carved with a brush
    on the scales of a fish.

    That was Sokcho, always waiting, for tourists, boats, men, spring.

    Our beaches are still waiting for the end of a war that’s been going on for so long people have stopped believing it’s real.
