Mozart

 

A young rascal, barely of age

For a friend who plays the clarinet like a ghost

Composed a piece, as flavorful as well-spiced bulgogi

Sunlight near the Rose Garden in Suyuri

For whom do you write your pitiful poems

Changhyeon, Kwontaek, Youngsoo, and Gyudong so brilliantly

For whom do you guys play the strings so damn well

 

Poet’s Note:
Shin Youngsoo, Uhm Gyudong, and I, all so incredibly young,
dared to play Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in the woods of Suyuri.
