In the morning, when the days we lived and quarreled together Have disappeared into the past, At the edge of this cliff, where the golden sunbeam road stops at a river bend, What I see, What the sea teaches me, Is a seagull touching fierce billows-- With yangmiri full of roe in its mouth, With its head bowed, a seagull soars, its two wings spread wide, Dripping roe onto the sea, Crack! Bang! Painfully beating the air. 1. Naksan is a seaside town in Kangwn-do Province, famous for its beaches. L i k e a P e ng 2 Like a peng, one day I might just kick the door open and fly away.

I'm afraid of myself. I'm sometimes afraid of this uneasy imagination of mine. But, in
