About Forest
Yonah Jeong May 18
There is war in the forest
There is survival of the fittest in the forest
There is betrayal in the forest
In the forest there are trials
In the forest there is pain
There are poisonous insects in the forest
There are snakes in the forest
In the forest there are wild beasts
In the forest there are diseases
In the forest there is a big fear
Even so
all these things do not disappear
Forest is beautiful.

My love like a seed
Yonah Jeong May 17
My love
doesn't look like air
it is keeping me alive

My love
doesn't look like the wind
it is keeping me alive

My love
passes by like a flash of light
it stays by my side

My love
passes as fast as death
it stays by my side

My love
flows invisibly like a seed
it never forsakes me.

Low Noon
Yonah Jeong May 16
It is true

depending on the situation
depending on the time and place
It does not change
The time when people are asleep
The time of the truth game
The sound of darkness
knocks on the heart
and the eyes shine
Caparisoned
The shadow and
The prototype of High Noon

The time of love.

A Glass Window
Yonah Jeong May 16
When looking at the forest
through the glass window

It is not the sound of the forest
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly

When looking at lover
through the glass window

It is not the sound of lover
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly

When looking at freedom
through the glass window

It is not the sound of freedom
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly.

A Rocking Chair
Yonah Jeong May 16
A chair
where someone had sat
a while ago
A quiet and warm place
where no one was present
An empty chair
covered in dust,
Next to it
the sound of birds
leaving their footprints
The traces left behind
gather together
soothing the chair
and shaking it
So a history that is not lonely.
Yonah Jeong May 16
Your backside

Your wise days

Samuel climbs the stairs
One step at a time
with his body
against the stairs
One step at a time
Climbs the stairs
Sans
looking back at grandfather
standing at the bottom
Without
looking up at grandmother
standing at the top
Samuel climbs the stairs
one step at a time
There is no fear in his heart
(for his grandparent).

Human Farm

We are not driving hounds
we are raising them
in the streets, hunting
humans
hounds, they are less powerful than
humans, but
they are stronger than the beasts
beasts run away
Now, in these streets
hounds are galloping
driving humans, hunting
humans.

Hello Stranger
Yonah Jeong May 14
Lush
out the window
through the leaves
morning adolescent sunlight
in the morning breeze rain
cleaned up
crossing the glass window
comes to me

Noise of the refrigerator
scattering of water droplets
from the broken sink faucet

For decades on this street
day and night
as a familiar stranger
touch my steps
call my names
the closed windows open.

Your Teaching
Yonah Jeong May 13
A humble person is pure

A sanctified person is humble

To everyone
To all friends
To neighbors passing by
To enemies difficult to understand
Without even a speck of shame
With a brave heart
With a normal appearance
I will bow my head and embrace you

Without delay
time in the space
as if willingly giving one another life
like a dancing bear
live your life confidently
throwing it into the air
live lightly with
the fragrance of flowers

Live Like That.

The Unnamed Flower
Yonah Jeong May 12
In front of my desk
unclean
glass window
one day last year
very small and fragile
flower
stem
leaves visible

While writing a poem

And then autumn came
And then winter came
And when winter came
All erased and forgotten

Spring has come
Spring's March march has passed
Spring's April has come
Now May

I was writing a poem
and the words didn't come to me
so I tried to meet them
and I looked at the ***** window
and it was broken and through the blinds
I could see
stems and leaves and
flowerless trees that I hadn't seen before

They sway in the wind
and greet me
with hot teardrops
with stained palms
and send me
the words of the fragmented world

I am busy writing them down.

Ode to Mother's Day
Yonah Jeong May 11
He experiences his mother's love, but
is breaking her life
and gets caught by the police or doctors
and ends up in jail or a mental hospital
But he soon becomes normal
and comes home
At home, he breaks his mother's
Food, Clothing, and Shelter
in one-sided conversations
with his roommates
in mutterings to himself
but he doesn't hurt anyone
alone his mother
and there is no one else
by his side
but going hospital his last
sometimes on the phone, he talks about
his longing for his mother
and his tears of repentance
But his condition still makes it impossible
for him to get an outside pass
In fact, he became this way
after working as a competent employee
like five stars
and refusing to compete with his colleagues
But no one knows this and no one cares to know
because only his condition matters
and if mom sing his anxiety
he might end up it like them
he makes him even more great.

sneaky.

A Hymn for Rain
Yonah Jeong May 10
Anyone can
about rain
can sing
take pictures of it
can paint
can write poetry
as a lost cloud
walk in the rain
without an umbrella
without you
But the rain is not the object
Rain works
for being to be love itself.

falling stars
Yonah Jeong May 9
It is not a flowing star
It is not a falling star
perhaps, it's not a destructive journey

watch the falling leaves
watch the falling rain
watch the falling snow

falling stars are yes

leaves are not leaves, they are the leaves of tree
rain is not rain, they are the rains of cloud
Snow is not snow, they are the snows of sky

A star is not a star, it is the star of love

It is a smile in your tears alone.

Stars aren't forgotten
they just fade
because they're nothing

With FDR

Stars don't fade

because they are not nothing.

To You
Yonah Jeong May 8
You have seen winter!
Autumn's buds
Spring leaves
Fall Coat
Winter is the descendant of fall
Cuckoo song
Into the blue sea
and the longing
of the unable to to meet
that must be met
with the mirror of the past pleasure
in the red sea
Have you ever seen winter?
