“The Pastor’s Wife’s Hat”

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

“사모의 모자”

Posted on August 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

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 →

“거울”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

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 →

“이발하는 날”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

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 →

“Mirror”

Posted on August 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Bare hands. Into a pool no larger than the heart,the sound of letting go slips down the ridgewhere garments once rested on the back. Even emptiness is insufficient—past the shiver of the shoulders,a single cry breaks loose. Only one—pouring into … Continue reading →

The Day Moon

Posted on August 12, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Winter brushes the fingertipsof the shaman—empty-bodied,visible from all directions—morning and evening. A bird, perched on a dry branch,laughs,its entrails spilling out. Hair, like scattered feathers,drifts towardbuildings stripped bare,unfolding slowly—a voice without accompaniment. The night that had been swept awayreturns to … Continue reading →
