Kurage Poet

Poems drawn from what resists speech—silence, shifts, hidden griefs. In English, not as explanation, but as an echo.

I just published What Is Art, Anyway? Tokyo Biennale 2025 Joining as an interpreter, I learned that art begins where attention returns — even to the city’s smallest ramps. https://t.co/0ZXzJ9v361 #art #東京ビエンナーレ #Japan #contemporaryart #artist

Only your eye-star
matters
thousands fall away
幾千の星をほふりて　汝が瞳抱く

slicky split

neroli scent swallowed

waves of sea air

vanish the bubbles from

the mouth of sirens

The Betrayal Inside a Photograph
On photography, memory, and the quiet violence of keeping.

When I look through the lens, I am living the future’s past.
But can I even call this living?

Endings aren’t always the scariest things.

The Snake

The tree above
fell on the head.
A pitch-black color.

The snake cried out
injustice
and grew wings,
longing to fly to heaven.

Have you ever felt solitude shift—from a wound into an architecture of quiet?

[Kurage Poet @5percentvoice]

“Loneliness once cut like glass.
Now, it feels like light”

Istanbul—my final day.
Polished floors spread like water.
A small table held me,
until an older couple slid their tray without asking.
French words fell like coins.

And yet, he was”

A story of desire, distance and the city where holiness and sin breathe the same air

How I longed to be held
by my mom
But now I know
the only arms
that can hold me
are mine

Healing starts when we hold ourselves.

In the Mediterranean wind,
every thread that bound me
came undone.
And in that unraveling—
I was born again.

[Kurage Poet @5percentvoice]

The ruins breathe,
slowly,
slowly,
into the waiting soil.
廃墟
ゆっくり
ゆっくりと
土に還る

A journey isn’t about moving through space.
It’s about becoming weightless, bound to nothing.

How I longed
to be held
by my mother.

But now I know —
the only arms
that can hold me
are mine.

こんなにも
母に抱かれたかった。
そしてようやく気づくー
私を抱けるのは
私しかいないと。
