“Yeah” by Moon Jeong-Hee

One sunlight-filled afternoon
you asked,
“Wanna do it with me?”
My reply,
which blossomed like a flower,
“Yeah.”

As a round sea, you rise above me.
As a round moon, I rise below you.
This sparkling posture of language,

simply rooms
for parallel hearts
coming into contact.

The beautiful completion
made by you and me,
moon and sea.

“Yeah,”
the warmest
and most peaceful answer
rising over land
and the horizon.



햇살 가득한 대낮
지금 나 하고 하고 싶어?
네가 물었을 때
꽃처럼 피어난
나의 문자
“응”

동그란 해로 너 내 위에 떠있고
동그란 달로 나 네 아래 떠있는
이 눈부신 언어의 체위

오직 심장으로
나란히 당도한
신의 방

너와 내가 만든
아름다운 완성
해와 달

지평선에 함께 떠있는
땅위에
제일 평화롭고
뜨거운 대답
“응”


The original poem appeared in the spring 2013 issue of Litopia.
