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
