A Liberation Note

:sukku, mi-jeong, ona, and uti

there are thousands of doors

in the world, within universe,

that will be opened and stretch itself out

to welcome and let you enter

so you can see what beauty is

pick up the fruits for you to keep,

to taste, to deliver the new ones

until the younger generation behind you

endure the grace after the daunting tasks

of looking for the one thousand same doors

there lay the pluck to walk along the path

marked danger:

it's spitting down with troubled drops

at a time

only spirit keeps you warm

when a mother's tears

unheard, unhealed every ignored gloom
