낙엽
홍승우
가볍게 흔들며 와서
허우적거리는 기다림으로 하여
잠시 왔다 가버리는 그
달빛에 흔들리는 하늘을 바라보아도
부끄럽지 않을 만큼 가난한 그는
모양과 빛깔을 잊어버린 지 이미 오래다.
숲으로 해서 달려온 바람으로 하여
흔들리는 하늘과 새로운 의미를 가져오는
숱한 기억을 이룬 낙엽이 가라앉는 묵중한 소리
안으로 한없이 열리는 하늘 밑에
초점이 모아져
은밀하게 짜 올린 속살은 핏물이 되어 강으로 흐르고
열려있는 창으로 하여
나무들의 향연이 끝난 지금
그는 또 하나의 하늘을 찾아 거침없이 떠난다.

Fallen Leaves
Hong Seung-Woo
Having come, lightly trembling,
Because of a waiting that flails helplessly,
He who comes only for a moment, and then is gone.
Even as he gazes at the sky trembling in the moonlight,
He is poor enough to feel no shame.
It has already been long since he forgot his shape and colour.
Because of the wind that has raced in through the forest,
The fallen leaves, laden with countless memories
That bring a new meaning to the trembling sky,
Sink with a weighty sound.
Beneath the sky that opens endlessly within that sound,
The focus gathers,
And the secretly woven inner flesh
Turns to blood and flows into the river.
Because of the open window,
Now that the trees' feast is over,
He sets off once more, without hesitation,
In search of yet another sky.
