Sook-hee The Handmaiden

December 18, 2019

She was stupid

The kind of dumb that made you smile or made you shrug

Bold and greedy with enough courage to change the tides

Brazen at heart fiercely burning

Falling quickly but not unheeded

Stumbling into a trap with no remorse

Catching the hunter up

Taken under wing of a swan like love

Slashing the necks of snakes

Running into the sea.
