POEMS by Kim Pil-Young

TEARDROP



Incorruptible spring water pooled in hearts

Hotter than any heart and clearer than the dew

A jewel that cannot be received without the truth

God gave beautiful eyes,

So that could see dazzling love

When couldn’t control delight,

Made drown in a lake

When couldn’t look at sadness,

Made the river flow


READ THE WINTER OF THE HAN RIVER


Ice is the bone of water

If you close your heart, then, will be only bones remain?

Sitting next to you who is frozen, and become the winter wind

Half-open face, gray sky in the eyes

In order not to let go of the Muloragi in the West Sea

Even though seemed calm on the outside, sweeping chest

Even though she seemed calm on the outside, she was sweeping her chest.

Jamsillaru Which is counting the silence walk up and down restlessly

Swallowing the thorn-like sewage from the apartment

At Yeouinaru, where only the depths are deep

Who are you waiting for until the sun goes down?

Was it that you couldn’t forget the way back?

Gazing at the bone-covered waterway

Holding onto an empty cruise ship with stiffening body

Yeouido where empty words have hardened, passes through the concrete forest

Your shoulders Which are shave bones and shake

Wishing to wrap you up tight until spring comes

Black-blue water scales in the wind, ascending towards the Heukruongso*

(Heukruongso* is an Origin of the Han River)
