A Poem Gone Wrong

 

Whenever there is an interlude

your poem turns brusque

Not much different from a baby

You can’t really push around a poem by

picking it up and putting down as easy as pie

We'll exchange books with flaws

Don't just say things the way it pleases you

Dandelion seeds bump against the windshield with thumps

Wishing to soften the blow, I too bump back with whams

Your poem is a dream

that enchants me while breathing a few breaths

When blown with a puff

it flutters away

shaking a body in its wake

잘못된 詩 

 

틈만 생기면 당신의 시는

퉁명스러워져요

간난아기가 따로 없다니까

시를 그렇게 호락호락

들었다 놨다 하지 못하지

잘못된 책은 바꿔드립니다

아무 말이나 멋대로 하지 말아요

민들레 홀씨들이 쿵쿵 윈드쉴드에 부딪친다

충격을 좀 줄이다시피 나도 쾅쾅 맞부딪친다

숨 몇 번 쉬는 사이에 나를 홀리는

당신의 시는 완전 꿈이야

훅 불면 바람에

훨훨 날아가버리는

몸을 흔들면서
