POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The Islands Are Not Lonely, Yonah Jeong, Austin Macauley Publishers, 28th April, 2023.
from the Lighthouse
Be
surrounded by
mountains
lighthouse
stands the same place
starlight
waves
seagull family
pebbles
wet moss
low forest
stairs
sunrise and sunset
a cliff
a winding path
fish
old small ship
a lighthouse keeper
are moving
a true friend
navigator
not visible
good luck
when seen
the best luck
the light of lighthouse
different from the city lights
joy of sharing
with all beings
in the fear and loneliness of the wreck
after the storm
See.

by the Power of Unemployment
An unemployed good man
holding the address found
in the weekly newsletter
went to the nursing home
with only grandmothers
grandma's painful place
searching this and that
the friendly stories
massage
knead
had fun together
the young man saying
took off the ring
blood circulation is good
about ring was given by someone
the grandma's pride grew
times went by
when grandma's heart
relaxed
took off the ring
forgot the ring
the young man took bring rings
ran away.

When the ambulance passing by
I always was painful
I feared the sound
sprang out of my mind
after it passed
even though disappeared
sound and light echoes
remained me
bothered me
no matter who was in there
it doesn't matter with me
but I have a wish:
I don't want to see
This morning,
an ambulance arrived a little late
at the hospital
my friend can no longer live
with me
until the dawn comes
I could not sleep
my hate killed friend
who was a poor in it.

on Integration
In the earthly world
left eye and right eye
left shoulder and right shoulder
left hand and right hand
left ear and right ear
left knee and right knee
left foot and right foot
left brain and right brain
move and role
each other
differently
there is a heart
it is on the left
but
people don't call it
left heart.

Sacrifice
Gathering
all the money i have
buy tickets
Enter
One
two
waiting songs
the great orchestra
melodies
conductor back view
Roasted the peanut flavor
Cannot breathe
only eyes
fall into hearing
invisible next seat
by the way
crying of a hidden child
hug in a hilarious child
learned and decent eyes
focus on this point
On the stage
the dancing baton
stops
and
mother becomes mom
goes out of the curtain
About 10 seconds

A way station
Be
or
none
passengers who wait for
Run
Someday
upon arrival
at the terminal
all stories to put down
joy of meeting
sorrow of separating
in the bosom
Run
Crossing
around waving river
blue heaven
green mountains
Run
While running
train thinks a lover
a way train
Stepping in
shakes white handkerchief
after few minutes
the time to leave

cannot meet
never again

One Commandment
Forget the difference
............ the discrimination
............ the favoritism
Forget it
visible a difference
............ a discrimination
............ a favoritism
And start now
go to find
friends and enemies
with the same heart
Forget
you will meet
different from you
lover.

Wanna Be
You
keep me away
Selfish
not knowing how to love
saying nonsense
staying
without politeness
At somewhere invisible
not by your side
i call you
songs
whispering
of the flowing brook in the rocks
covered with trees
i gesture
can't run to you
can't talk to you
i wanna be stay
even on the face
like the favorite dragonfly sunglasses.

Morning Greetings
Morning
brings
traces of the deep night
Wake up
to see the sky
open the window
the fence of
the front house
to touch
the bare branches of
dozens of old tree
i reach out my hands
Soon
Hand meddling fragment clouds
..........holding floating stars
..........bending a universe
Morning
presenting
light in the dark night.

Humble and Proud
The rabbit
forgets the turtle
thinks about victory
only
In fact
knows well
rabbit cannot be lose in the race
The turtle
remembers the rabbit
thinks about unbeaten
only
In fact
knows well
turtle cannot be win in the race
On whose side is victory.

Dart 1
On the room door
toward the dartboard
one
two
three
threw an arrow
singly
even if i threw
dozens of times
couldn't hit
the center spot
so
i pictured a hating face
and
shot while staring
last left arrow
i hit
a perfect score!

Worm
To avoid
overlapping summer heat
into the mosquito net
gathered together
as soon as sit down
pieces of peach
comes in
with a white plate
Each other
put in the mouth
talk what happened today
Suddenly
"No?
is a bug".
"hey!
peach eaten by the worm
more delicious
is good
there is a little pesticides".
From the side
the sound of a mosquito
someone whispers
"The same for people".
