POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
The Islands Are Not Lonely, Yonah Jeong, Austin Macauley Publishers, 28th April, 2023.
When a sparrow flew away from
Going down Apt. stairs
saw a dozing sparrow by the window
held down a sparrow
a sparrow escaped to upstairs rooftop
but hit beak to an locked iron door and
be shut in the corner
pressed a sparrow with flat bag softly
left hand grabbed and caught
with proud emotion
to bus station
walked in deep thoughts
Fly a night
when the morning comes
will ask mother then forcibly
will tie a sparrow ankle with thread sturdy
from yard to rice paddies and a empty field
a grandson will scamper
While i feel so good ...

Waterfall
falls
with joy
Waterfall
falls
without fear
Waterfall
falls
knowing to break.

please
The human
started lives
with the pain of hands
widened the relationship
Two hands ten fingers
are making dreams
come true
Now,
look at your hands.

A song for winter
Night
winter
wine
in a glass
Why?
Around the evening
heart beat fast
head move slowly
body doze temperately
At small window
winter
comes closer
Snowing Building Scattering
forest
the wind blows
between these things all
For few years of winter
the night gives the light
it is the sound of dropping water
it is from red handkerchief to white carpet
it is neither noisy nor quiet
like breaking branches of a tree
like comfort rest peace
with the foresight ...

In the dead end
like the eyes of mouse
staring at the cat
to resist
against
suppression and inequality
In despair
in fear
to feel
Hope's bitter rod
To understand neighbors
across the river of dishonor
refusing to be sacrificed
to ideology
It is working.

Yellow Butterfly White Butterfly
Freedom,
eraser
to erase wrong acts
upholding equality
Shouting
pencil,
put it on the head
records and draws
In the note
yellow butterflies
white butterflies
Come from it
beyond
the flower garden
the fence
towards the streets
with two wings
larger than the body
Do not just stay
in the flower bed
ignoring
the traffic light
Fly.

Poet
All beings
leave suffering and joy
finding these traces
showing the meaning of life
the sentry of history
a poet.

A Wallet Is Crying
busily
from NJ to NY coming and going
meet G.W.Bridge
at entrance to New Jersey
sometimes encounter
a mid 30s female
scattered hairs,
puffy lips,
approaching with broken shoes
she can't holding a light paper
words of desperate help
by the spring breeze
drops and picks up
over and over
when bows down
the hot afternoon sun
pours behind back
Hurriedly
i take out wallet
lower window a little
hand over one dollar
She blesses my future
never forgets to...
