[이기찬]

- Coffee adore

In the morning, just to have a cup of coffee
Carefully take out the bag containing the coffee beans
In a solemn, almost ritualistic posture
Put the coffee grounds into the machine.
Soon, as hot steam rises, the scent of
Breathing in that low, rich aroma of coffee
I take out my most cherished teacup and pour.
From now on, I will wander through a hallucination.
In a life granted with such dignity
He too has set all his elegant senses upright
I want to live drinking sharp, strong coffee
Before you know it, you've already finished drinking it
There is a loneliness that only gazes at empty glasses.
Just as life will one day remain empty
Like coffee drunk down, leaving only regret behind
The time to leave will come, but,
Today, once again, hands full
I don't want to set out a hot cup of coffee.
Even if our story isn't passionate right now
taken from the bundle of life I have carried
A deep and rich flavor will remain.
