A Plum Tree in the Snow By Yun Yongbin
Translated by Rodney E. Tyson & Hong Eun-Taek
Presented by the poet at the XXII World Congress of Poets, 2002.
Your haggard fingers
Must be so stiff from the coldAs every joint has frozen and burst
And is knotted with bloodIf a spring breeze
Would blow readily
Perhaps you could unfold your frozen hands.
