A way station 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 30
Be
or
none
passengers who wait for

Run

Someday
upon arrival
at the terminal
all stories to put down
joy of meeting
sorrow of separating
in the *****

Run

Crossing
around waving river
blue heaven
green mountains

Run

While running
train thinks a lover
a way train

Stepping in
shakes white handkerchief
after few minutes
the time to leave
sweetheart
cannot meet
never again

Breaking up
a lover chest
the train run .

Dart
Yonah Jeong Aug 30
On the room door
towards the dartboard
one

threw an arrow
even if i threw it
dozens of times
couldn't hit the target
perfect spot
so i painted
a hating face
immediately
i shot
the last remaining arrow
hit exactly
perfect score!
Yonah Jeong Aug 30
I always was painful
I feared the sound
sprang out of my mind
after it passed
even though disappeared
sound and light echoes
remained me
bothered me
no matter who was in there
it doesn't matter with me
but I have a wish:
I don't want to see

This morning,
an ambulance arrived a little late
at the hospital
my friend can no longer live
with me
until the dawn comes
I could not sleep
my hate killed friend
who was a poor in it

NOW
i pray that
it arrives on time.

An unemployed good man
holding the address found
in the weekly newsletter
went to the nursing home
with only grandmothers
grandma's painful place
searching this and that
the friendly stories
massage
knead
had fun together
the young man saying
took off the ring
blood circulation is good
about ring was given by someone
the grandma's pride grew
times went by
when grandma's heart
relaxed
took off the ring
forgot the ring
the young man took bring rings
ran away.

From the lighthouse 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 30
Be
surrounded by
mountains
lighthouse
stands the same place
starlight
waves
seagull family
pebbles
wet moss
low forest
stairs
sunrise and sunset
a cliff
a winding path
fish
old small ship
a lighthouse keeper
are moving
a true friend
navigator
not visible
good luck
when seen
the best luck
the light of lighthouse
different from the city lights
joy of sharing
with all beings
in the fear and loneliness of the wreck
after the storm
See.

Wife warns
"you:
get angry very well
do not take care of appearance
do not know the power of money
human relationship are not good
eating food is too picky
just say what want to say
selfish
repetitive force
and intolerance.

nevertheless
i live in peace

the reason:
with old parents in the 90's
under the May sun
hanging the laundry
sharing the happy conversation
even in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hollowed out
Yonah Jeong Aug 29
abandoned by the bank
one branch of the Lucky Tree
brought home
and
divided it into three parts
and then
filled three glass jars with clean water
and stuck them one by one
One day
Two days
Three days
one week
A month later
as luck
at the very top
sprouted from the top
again
A few days passed and
I was surprised
the center of the stem was hollowed out
And then
little by little,
it was becoming a leaf.

Married the end
Yonah Jeong Aug 29
mother married
at the age of 19
lived for 70 years
father was a very strong
he took care of all the money
he dealt with bad people
he was a teacher and a farmer
for my mother
as the years passed
my father became unable to do
any work for himself
he asked her
to untie his hands and feet
to free
my mother didn't listen to my father's pleas
to stay with him
until the end.

Pablo
who has been without
friends for decades
a city officer
told me
“Behind the parking lot
The tree is old and
and the leaves are causing
a nuisance to the neighborhood
we don't know when it's going to fall
we need to cut it down now"
I said, "he lives in New York"
But Pablo always saying
“Not today...not today
It has been years."

Winter Day
Yonah Jeong Aug 28
Winter builds spring
Winter nurtures summer
Winter cures falling
Winter burns itself pure(
White).
Yonah Jeong Aug 28
I see the forest of the trees
I walk through the park
with the homeless birds

In the distance
a park forest path: snake's tailing
at the crawling night

Will it rain?
Will time stop?
Will it wind.
Will space disappear?

I hug the leaves that tickle me
clean and warm
This winter night is dawning.

Going down Apt. stairs
saw a dozing sparrow by the window
held down a sparrow
a sparrow escaped to upstairs rooftop
but hit beak to an locked iron door and
be shut in the corner
pressed a sparrow with flat bag softly
left hand grabbed and caught
with proud emotion
to bus station
walked in deep thoughts

Fly a night
when the morning comes
will ask mother then forcibly
will tie a sparrow ankle with thread sturdy
from yard to rice paddies and a empty field
a grandson will scamper

While i feel so good
my right fingers relaxed
flapping
opened wings powerful
circled around top of an electric pole
a sparrow grew
farther and farther
away

Ah!
a dream of mine.

The human
started lives
with the pain of hands
widened the relationship

Two hands ten fingers

come true

Now,
look at your hands.
Yonah Jeong Aug 27
Freedom,
eraser
to erase wrong acts
upholding equality

Shouting
pencil,
put it on the head
records and draws

In the note
yellow butterflies
white butterflies

Come from it
beyond
the flower garden
the fence
towards the streets
with two wings
larger than the body

Do not just stay
in the flower bed
ignoring
the traffic light

Fly.

my oath
Yonah Jeong Aug 27
they fought he fought the dictator of the time, who were more busy maintaining the status quo than those trying to defend and those trying to change. people loved the Romantic poet. In their love, there was always a passionate love that made them see the world and society right. they fight a world that doesn't admit different things than a society that doesn't admit wrongdoing. However, there are no romantic poets in this land, only renegade romantic poets abound. They make up to suit their tastes in the several kinds of poetry by the name of romance to hide it, and are satisfied that the world they see in the well is the universe. They look different, but they are all the same. Like pigs to be led to the slaughter, they grunt at their loves. You renegade, but still, my old friend, your political flattery and complacency are not romantic, you will find out when we are no longer friends. you have to be different If you are a snob like everyone else, then you are a renegade romantic. Oh, yes, You can't be a poet.

Sea 12
Yonah Jeong Aug 27
Even one time
desired to walk back
While walking
wish to see more

Wanted to get closer to
the present's past than to
the present's future

If walk forward,
the present disappears
If walk backward,
the present appears

The taste of life is felt
through the present, not
the future or the past

Take a back step
Can meet a peace
in the flow of time.

A wallet is crying 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 27
Busily
from NJ to NY coming and going
meet G.W. Bridge
at entrance to New Jersey
sometimes encounter
a mid 30s female
scattered hairs,
puffy lips,
approaching with broken shoes
she can't holding a light paper
words of desperate help
by the spring breeze
drops and picks up
over and over
when bows down
the hot afternoon sun
pours behind back

Hurriedly
i take out wallet
lower window a little
hand over one dollar

She blesses my future
never forgets to smile.

As soon as
i do that
unbearable sorrows coming out
my fingers begin to tremble.

In the mountains of the rivers

a sleeping poem
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
cars are running
insanity
standing
at Manhattan Intersection
hunger and loneliness
like being inside a castle
must fall
we can get out of self-locking
and homelessness,
the deep sorrow
It is not rare anymore
It is not just dumb
It is not just them, either
cars are driving madly.

                        dancing
                        leaves

sky and earth
between
the empty space of freedom
                      shows

      will the wind blow!

      time is scattered
      tickles                the earth

the hair(s) of the earth
grass, grasses, blade of grass
waving              and                beckoning.

Movie and Love
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
Don't try to show love
                     Make it feel

Love is not something you make
                    it is about revealing it

Watch the movie!

The tides of sensation starts
                                        after it is over.

looked at friend's hair and said

should buy these
so cool and cute
for a long time
for a long time
holding a fairy
who has kept her neatness and peace
for so long:
leaf hairpins,
ribbon hairpins
that her mom made from torn fabric,
a thread pin from a poor honey,
butterfly pin,
And with them,
on the soft ground
kicking up dust
my first love
decorated our childhood.

Golden Wedding

wife
Now
more than me
with the grandchildren
sleeping

I like it better.
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
last summer,
the best for me
Terry gave 300 dollars as a birthday gift
The money left for him
It's only one dollars
still, his eyes are full of tears
for me from the heart
listening to music
I have been thrown away
after breaking down
It is not once or twice
(Autumn showers are dropping with a thick voice)
With this good thing
The music that gives comfort and peace
I listened hard. I listened so hard
In the end, it was broken
I tried several times
It was in vain
As before,
I tried to throw it away generously
this time, not music
Terry's voice and laughter came in
always believe and cheer
just never angry
over 10 years
I hear a message of friendship
I put it in the best place in my library
I'm waiting
from Ohio to this place
I'm waiting for coming again.

are you going to do that?
are you sure?
I am sure
I am going to go your

and then

“Photo, good.”
