When a poem meets a webtoon

I have ten eyes

Written by SON Byunggil / Picture by Yeon-du

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have ten eyes 

 

SON ByungGul

 

If you don't see it in person,

I've lived my life without believing

Until the moment I lost my sight

I rolled my two eyes

 

My eyes are shrinking

Every time I bump into something and fall,

with my both hands

I fumbled on the floor

at the tip of one's dark fingers

eyes that open out of the blue

 

Around that time,

I don't need to check

And learned how to have space

 

Brightening up just by a brush 

My ten eyes have opened up
