Horizon

By Yim Kang Bin

Translated by Rodney E. Tyson & Hong Eun-Taek

The Quarterly Review: Poetry & Criticism, 5(2). Summer 2002. (In press).


I want to be the faraway horizon

To make a fuss
Without ceasing for even a short while
Among the raging waves

It does not reveal itself all at once
It comes fully into view
And draws a single stroke

I want it to keep its haziness
