Writing a Letter from Abroad

Writing a Letter from Abroad

                                                                        Kim, Yoojo

                                                                       Translated by the author 

I’d like to write a letter in ink on paper

Instead of the current e-mail.

 

I hope to put the red outgoing cover on

After putting the sealed letter on the mailbox

Where I just took an hometown anthology,

 

Sending can be done at any time

What if it does not go.

 

In my heart I already crossed the sea

Sailing on the handwritten paper letter

With the consonant at the exhalation

Vowel gathered at inhalation.

 

The recipient is you

or the time....
