A skirt of stars falls to the earth
as mischievous men drink in mirth
to celebrate their trying trek;
all hearts and hands are now on deck.
What shall tomorrow’s sunrise bring?
Into which waters will they spring?
Neither man nor beast truly see
what terrors lie beyond the lee.

난항/Rough Passage
오래된 그 배는 끊임없는 격랑에 항해한다
부담을 실은 배에 따라 두근거리는 내 가슴은 요동친다
몸은 약하고 지치는데 계속적으로 난 고요한 바다를 기원한다
힘들고 오랜 항해 후 육지에 올랐다
영원히 무거운 눈꺼풀을 감는다
This old boat sails through an endless rough sea.
My pounding heart rolls with the burdened ship.
This body is weak and ragged; I pray incessantly for calm waters.
After a long and difficult voyage, land is reached.
Heavy eyelids close forever.

It has been one week since I updated the blog. I have been busy with work and Korean studies. Hopefully this lag in updates will not become a trend! 🙂

Sailors watch willful waves crash over the
Starboard as a venerable concertina wails
Shamelessly against the charcoal bolt.
Sargas casts his naked brilliance o’er the
Surface of frightened alabaster faces while
Shaula slings celestial tears upon the somber
Schooner fore it slinks into its frigid grave.
