Thank you.

To sum up everything
I could never tell is thank you.
The sea and the sky will always have you in between.




5.11.17

Disposisi

Di sekitaran yang kekal
aku mengingat
pernah melihatmu lekat.
Di titik itu waktu mungkin tiada.
Apa lagi yang membuat ingatan
tentang langit siang bertahan?
Sementara aku dan yang lain
menjadi usang.

6.5.17

Guratan

Aku menggambarnya berkali-kali
Berharap lekas lepas dari ingatan

Di setiap sekat pertemuan kami
Kuselipkan pesan-pesan dalam sembunyi
Tentang laut yang rindu cakrawala
Tentang buih ombak yang tak akan pernah menyentuh langit

Meski di sana mereka selalu jumpa
Beradu pandang. Kadang berpadu bias

Song to Offer Wine, 권주가.


Song to Offer Wine,
 권주가
 





Have some, have some
Have a cup of this wine
This wine is not wine
This wine is our mother’s tears
This wine is our father’s sweat
Don’t say it’s bitter or sweet
Have a taste with your heart
Don’t be sad
The Myeongsasibri rose buds fall
When spring arrives next year
you will bloom once again
Our pitiful life
is like a floating rootless weed

Have some, have some
Have a cup of this wine
The Paulownia tree
in the bright fall moon
reminds me of my wife
and saddens me
Does my wife think of me?
Or am I alone in this thought?
In the morning’s cold frost,
the wild goose cries and leaves
I hope for news of my wife
The overflowing clouds
are empty of noise
