The NationTwo beggars sharing a meal of the food they’ve been given
The new moon shines intensely
*
In a poor family’s yard the moon’s so bright it could beat out rice-cakes
*
Get yourself a friend come to know a foe Get yourself a foe come to know a friend
What kind of game is this?
*
A thousand drops hanging from a dead branch
The rain did not fall for nothing
*
Without a sound
resin buried underground is turning into amber while above the first snow is falling
Translated from the Korean by Brother Anthony of Taizé, Young-moo Kim and Gary Gac
