Hang the spring moon
A corner of the sky is cut out
And the spring breeze blows in and out,
Allows it to create floral patterns
He may have dark eyes at night,
It would be perfect to hang a bright spring moon.
Colorless longing gathers the energy of memories,
Offer fire rituals
Cut the long-frozen language into pieces and put it in an earthenware vessel,
And brew bitter water,
The uneven language sank like sediment.
Spring comes to me at an old pace,
I keep laughing
I learned that when spring comes,
Flowers bloom on people’s bodies too.
Flowers bloom as warm as the moonlight,
***
봄 달을 걸다
김봄서
하늘 한 귀퉁이 오려낸다
봄바람 드나들며
꽃무늬를 낼 수 있도록,
그이는 밤눈이 어두울지 모르니
화사한 봄 달을 걸어두면 제격이겠다
무채색 그리움이 추억의 에너지를 긁어모아
화제火祭를 드린다
오랫동안 얼어붙은 언어를 토막 내어 질그릇에 담아
쓴 물을 우려 낸다
미처 고르지 못한 언어가 앙금처럼 가라앉았다
내게 봄은 낡은 속도로 오지만,
자꾸만 웃음이 난다
사람도 봄이 오면 몸에
꽃이 핀다는 걸 알게 되었다
달빛처럼 따뜻한 꽃이 핀다는 걸,
