가을 나무

바람이 불면 개울물은 거슬러 오르곤 했다.그때마다 바닥에서 붉고 푸르고 노란 마른 손바닥들이 삐걱이며 지나갔다.그들의 길은 끝내 혼란스러웠다. 한 해의 얼굴들이 손끝에서 풀려나새벽 안개로 피어 숲을 가리면,숲은 하나의 개울이 되어각자의 가지 끝으로 무너져 흘러갔다. 여행을 멈춘 길손이 자신의 심장을 내어주고,닷새 굶주린 … Continue reading

Football – Learning on My Couch

By TaeHun Yoon Tense and fierce, wild and loud,Exuberance erupts beneath the cloud.No mercy shown on emerald field,A hundred yards where giants wield. Ten men like black bears clash and dash,Following commands with thunderous flash—From minds that scheme with practiced … Continue reading

Fog

I sat facing the wall—yet saw a stream flowing by. Like mist unravelingacross a mountain’s waist—Yes… that’s how it is. Even the far-seeing eyemust be clouded nowby this faded longing. TaeHun Yoon July 22, 2023

Drought

Not a drought It is not dryness—but longing,overflowing. I tried to send it away,but there was nothing leftto release. As if I were parched,I tracedthe thirstlike tailoring cutsupon memory. Fearful of tomorrow,I gathered my voiceinto a singleshout—toward the placewhere truth … Continue reading

Antenna

Oh, how thirsty I am—When the moon comes running,Carrying whispers of news, Old songs rise in a noisy chorus,With both hands raised high— Like that,Stretching my neckBeyond the sky, Just to speakOne word:“Peace.” That longing…Always reaching. TaeHun Yoon July 20, … Continue reading

“Sound of a Bell”

Sound Opens A childopens the sound—and sound is seen. Above the blue sky,a sound unfolds. An old manopens his despair—and sound is seen. Into the dark-blue sea,a trembling street. One as two,a sound that cannot meet. From the green-blue sky,no … Continue reading

When Wings Unfold

It’s justa single white dot,and yet— Noise fades,the sky turns suddenly pure. From here to there,every color appears,yet it’s so transparent,it feels suspended—as if time itself has stopped. It’s like arrivingin another world.A hush falls over me. Then, if those … Continue reading

“A Forgotten Day”

In Times Like These, I Don’t Want to See Myself Yesterday awakened againfrom a memory long lost.When the wind blew,the trees above began to dance—just like always.And I, like a legend,followed with bated breath,clutching my chest in silence. I grew … Continue reading

잊혀진 하루

요즘 같은 세상에서는 나를 보고 싶지 않아요. 어제가 잊어버린 기억속에서 다시 때어났어요. 바람이 불면 나무 위에선 언제나 처럼 숲이 춤을 추기 시작했죠. 그러면 나는 전설처럼 가슴을 꼭 쥐고 숨을 죽이며 따라갔지요. 나는 작아지고 숲은 계속 커지기만 했지요. 무서음과 호기심 사이에서, … Continue reading

백조

날개를 펴면 하얀점 하나 일 뿐인데, 소음도 사라지고 하늘은 갑자기 순수해지고 마네요. 이 곳에서 저 곳까지 분명 모든 색이 보이는데, 투명하다 못해 정지된 것 같아요. 다른 세상에 온 것 같아요, 먹먹해져요. 그러다 날개라도 사쁜이 걷우면, 그건 그냥 그 산야와 들판에, … Continue reading
