‘Say “Ah.”

You little rascal, what’re you eating?’

He opened his mouth, ‘Ah.’

On his little tongue

was a pebble.

He was hungry and wanted something to eat,

so he’d picked up a stone,

put it in his mouth

and was moving it around.

At sunset, as goose-flesh spread wide,

a wind came down from the hills.

After Seoul Was Recaptured

After the three months of the People’s Republic,

everything in Seoul was destroyed.

Empty houses and

the houses of those who hadn’t left yet,

all of them,

on every rainy day,

echoed with the endless sound of raindrops falling from the eaves.

Those who collaborated during the occupation numbered 400,000.
