Black balloon
Black balloon
Hanging on a black string
Floating in the black sky
Then white winds appeared
and shook one of
the black balloons
While shaking
Black writing on black paper
It reveals good
things alone.

My life
Yonah Jeong Dec 12
my life is
still
unexploded
time bomb

on fire
time bomb

that will depart
when it explodes

a slave of time
will disappear
when it goes off.

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."

Wandering blue air
Yonah Jeong Aug 26
with people
without strongman
go with poems
without ant democracy
propaganda
roads of the dream
glass into the hope
together future
in the different languages
It is wandering youth
memories of  heartbreak.

Dart 1
Yonah Jeong Aug 28
On the room door
toward the dartboard
one

three
threw an arrow
singly
even if i threw
dozens of times
couldn't hit
the center spot
so
i pictured a hating face
and
shot while staring
last left arrow
i hit
a perfect score!

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.

As you walk away
Yonah Jeong Oct 31
Guillotine fear is ******* into
the tunnel of frozen air
Mountain peaks watching from afar
becoming a writer's blade
White edge of manuscript paper
trembling
Night Winter prepares to leave. Already.
It hesitates at a fork
over wild cat's eyes
you say, "Come again"
It prepares to leave It
makes a moan
Mixing vinegar and hot peppers
Falls and falls and falls
The glasses come off
in the corner
The ice hockey player
In between life and death in an unjust war
Van Gogh's two eyes
Chopin's two hands
And with the vibration of a throbbing pulse
spring permeates into late winter
Winter permits early spring.

The Way You Go
Yonah Jeong Dec 12
solitude is there
there are pieces of broken pain
are shining
walls are transparent
floors are transparent
the roofs are transparent
space also is transparent, transparent, transparent.
i can see all
invisible to you alone
there is solitude
The Way You Go
not lonely.

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.

there is a Tree
spring is coming
summer goes by
fall comes
leaves of various shapes and colors
becoming fallen leaves
and pile up
they are stepped on and trampled
into winter. And
winter is bringing
spring.

Late October
Yonah Jeong Oct 28
A elk family
strolling leisurely While shaking head
from side to side

Holding on to autumn and driving away winter
Entering the Red Sea Forest
Stepping on fallen leaves and snowflakes

Someone's pretending to be
The frozen time is released
The day is printed out at the ATM.

about Good-bye
If you live with this thought
coming soon
any day
have to say
"Good-bye",
a beautiful day with
good people
good events
good feelings
will approach and
be your side,
Good-by.
In front of the bank
on the marble staircase
a blind boy
with all his fingers cut off
with his right hand
clutching a dented basket
and bend at the waist and continue

A slender woman holding parasol
passes in front of him
and spat out gum
and tosses him a bill

In the distance
a boy watching from a distance
quietly approaches
and leaves
after placing a single coin inside it

In an alleyway
for a long time
while his head down
and whistling a tune
disappears.

my hope
Yonah Jeong Dec 13
when I rang the doorbell
heavy snow fell
and hid the paths of aloneness
having lost my way
I looked for a stone
and stepped on it
The snow melted
and showed me the path to take
beyond the end of the road
the islands of Privacy
I have to go there
and make the waves
without you.

white cheeks
black head
black and white wings
red belly
and eyes that gaze into
the distance Alone
but not lonely
build a home in a tree
your heart that sings cheerfully
hangs on the tree
looks beyond the sky
a couple gentleman and lady
with a strong beak
awakens the loneliness of the forest
and the rain, thunder
while shaking telephone poles.

streetlights
Howling winds
you can't guess the direction
of my steps
walking barefoot
on dark cobblestone streets
Those who love wisdom
That falls from shoulders to heart
Their mocking laughs
Autumn flutters in the cool breeze
and the grip of despair
The corner you turn
And swaying in that place of
shining brightly
a single streetlight:
Democracy.
Yonah Jeong Dec 11
Top left white light
Down
There are three windows
The first wondow has
from the lower left corner
8 branches  
leaning to the right
The second window has
middle three branches
are flat like a trident
The third and final window has
five branches on the left
four of which are rounded
and one tilted to the right
And in the empty space is a security video camera
The branches provide a good view
without blocking the neighbor's
Because it's winter.

What a great day
Yonah Jeong Nov 26
I was so hungry
I'll go to the kitchen
I took out bowl of rice

I wrote a poem

How long ago?

about Selection
Yonah Jeong Oct 19
by someone
being chosen
Isn't that a miracle?
even if we live a hell of life
how joyful and happy?
river water,
old mountains,
field,
clouds,
skies,
animals, plants, and even inanimate objects
are all on the side of the Chosen us?
we can do
to live or to die as we please
or not?
we talk,
or we sing,
we are having a party,
we fight and war
If we lose,
we win, don't we?

Because we were chosen by someone

Is it true, is it true?

That someone
although it was in a dream
clearly,
precisely,
sternly said

"I chose you because I wanted to show My Love
through you and
you are neither special nor deserving of choice."

i am struggled, soaked in tears, and cried out for
then I woke up from my dream.

All day wrong
Yonah Jeong Nov 5
sleepless
outside the window at dawn
following the whispers of the forest
following the silences of the trees &
chasing their waves
Today's day unfolds
The figure of the morning thrown
Pal is ades Park
long long time ago
a piece of diamond
the solid Past
came on the train of Time
let's put up a fight again
tumbling in the palm of the hand
overflowing
Haze's bridge to the future
breeze...air...blow
with the triplets
This day
in the footsteps of sturdy emptiness
it leaves a trace
rehashing the obvious lies.

Lighthouse
Yonah Jeong Oct 24
In the top right corner
a picture of the lighthouse
on four pins
On the left is a
the captain's steering wheel
and in the middle
below that
in front of a wooden wall
hundreds of years ago
hundreds of years ago
a child ship
In the centre of the landscape
a sails sewn with thread
7 blue curve waves like
a barbershop symbol
lighthouse,
in the picture
when it keep the ship moving?
in the darkness
One moon
becomes several moons of different shapes

Sun Wukong

when writing a poem
in these times
i need to say something like this:

“Fighting!
even if you think
you are going to lose”.

Winter
seat of seasons
by the losers
shrinking
by drying and stepping
falls of branches
voice of winter
celebrates disappearance

of the old roads
with old man's walking
climb-down
for the sprouts
through the solid ground.
