Communion

                         By Poetess Ms. Haengsook Kim

A soft hymn

plays

The cross

In His hands

with Him

Receives

blood

성찬식

                                                      김행숙

낮은 음이

연주되고

십자가

그의 손

그와 함께

피를

받는다

Shattered

                         By Poetess Ms. Haengsook Kim

The mind

points north

A flying world

I was laughing

A deep

cry

Irrepressible growing

bells

An old alley

The staircase

standing upside down

망가진

                                                      김행숙

정신은

북쪽을 가리킨다

날아가는 세계

웃고 있었어

목이 깊은

울음을

걷잡을 수 없이 커지는

종소리

오래된 골목

거꾸로 선

계단의

Poetry

                                  By Poetess Ms. Haengsook Kim

Whispering

Sometimes

fog

Even though It trapped,

The alive

moving

lip

The secretive

door  

close eyes

                                                      김행숙

소근거림

가끔은

안개

갇히기도 하지만

살아

움직이는

입술

비밀스런

문              

눈을 감는다
