(translated from the Korean by geul)

The wind blows
where does the wind blow from
where is it blown to

*

The wind blows but
my anguish has no reason

*

Is there no reason for my anguish

*

Not a single woman have I loved
nor have I mourned the times

*

The wind keeps blowing but
my feet stand upon a rock

*

The river keeps flowing but
my feet stand upon a hill

over time: New Year’s Day, 2018

time comes
it goes
a day a month
a year a decade
vanishing
like so much dust
carried away
through an open window
leaving fragments
of images events faces
long forgotten
to reappear
out of context
a life lived
in segments
over time
always
over time
which has the habit
of slipping
away
