The present study investigates a poetic practice that stems from somatic perception, evolves through the construction of scenes, and achieves unity via linguistic rhythm. Instead of pursuing a linear logic, this text proceeds with hesitation and recursive movement, mirroring the inherent ambiguity of sensation. The work is founded on the premise that poetry emerges not from conceptual intent but from pre-verbal bodily cues—such as pressure, warmth, and breath—that exist prior to language. These physical sensations do not instantaneously translate into emotions; rather, they first generate specific scenes, allowing emotions to gradually unfold within them.
In this trajectory, emotion is not explicitly named but is disclosed through nuances in tone, tempo, and atmosphere. As the poem develops, sensation and emotion resonate within the language, and meaning takes shape through rhythm. This sensory basis is rooted in the author’s primal experience in an incubator—a transparent realm of “distance without contact.” The study revisits how these embodied beginnings evolve into poetic form, following the sequence: body → scene → emotion → rhythm → integration.
Specifically, the second chapter examines how bodily sensations generate poetic imagery; the third chapter explores the emergence of affect within these scenes; and the fourth chapter analyzes the convergence of sensation and emotion into a unified whole through rhythmic motion. Through this writing, I attempt to weave fragmented experiences into a continuous flow, a process of awakening that the title—In the End, the Eyes Will Awaken—seeks to capture.
