"Occupation"
The soldiers are hard at work building a house. They hammer bodies into the earth like nails, they paint the walls with blood. Inside the doors stay shut, locked as eyes of stone. Inside the stairs feel slippery, all flights go down. There is no floor: only a roof, where ash is falling— dark snow, human snow, thickly, mutely falling. Come, they say. This house will last forever. You must occupy it. And you, and you— And you, and you— Come, they say. There is room for everyone.
—Suji Kwock Kim
