Sound: City in the Dark

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

A small villagelabors toward sleep,restless—bodies turning like uneasy tides. From a rooftop,a scream splits the dark,shattering the heart.

“Mask”

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

She is smiling. After all has been trampled past,the sound of a woman’s back collapsing. Oh, embers drifting on a dried-up river— Joy that seeped inwardcrumbles into white dust,and here, in the night that remains,you must still be smiling. You … Continue reading →

“탈”

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

웃고 있다. 모두 밟고 지난 뒤 여인의 등이 무너지는 소리 마른 강물에 떠가는 불씨들이여! 안으로 스며든 기쁨이 하얗게 무너져 여기 남은 밤으로 아직 웃고 있어야 하는 넌 네 얼굴을 모른다. © 윤 태헌, 1980 봄

“사모의 모자” – 목사관 서신 (분꽃 이야기, 세번째)

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

저는 많은 모자를 가지고 있습니다. 그것은 나에게 어울리든 어울리지 않든 환경에 따라 바꿔 써야만 될 모자들입니다. 한때 의상 디자이너의 삶을 살았었기에, 어느 것이 잘 어울리고 어느 것이 전혀 맞지 않는다는 것을 이론으로, 실제로 배워왔었습니다. 그러나 사모가 된 후, 선택의 여지없이 … Continue reading →

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

My name—always on someone’s lips,always in the air between us. It seems I only call itwhen I am far away. Now, sitting here,looking at you,I feel it—the name I once carried long ago,the name waiting for me tomorrow. When I … Continue reading →

“거울”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

맨손이다 가슴만한 물속으로 뒷켠에 걸어 두었던 옷벗는 소리가 능선을 따라 미끄러졌다. 허공도 모자라 흔들리는 어깨넘어 함성으로 온다. 하나뿐인 미망의 뜰에 쏟아지는 마른 장마여! 배 떠난 저믄 늪에 겨울 한 올씩 풀고 있는 길목만 쓰러져있다. © 윤 태헌, 1980 (*5.18 광주 … Continue reading →

Posted on August 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

지난 토요일 오전에는 막내아들의 이발하는 날이었습니다. 평소에 이발소에 가서 머리를 깎지만, 때로는 이발소에 가기를 싫어하는 아이 때문에 가끔은 화장실에 임시 이발소를 차리고 가위와 빗 등의 각 종 이발 도구를 갖춘 채, 좁은 공간에서 아이와 씨름을 해야만 했습니다. 아이는 제 머리 … Continue reading →
