The Night That Took the Shadow Away from It

Ms. Kim Bomseo


The night is long when the shadow is taken away
Old longing rushes in
Tonight too
It seems difficult to fall asleep easily
I won"t regret what I lost
I need more composure.
Only then my soul will be able to rest properly.



I"ll have to ask the flowers outside the door tomorrow morning.
When will I be able to stand as myself?"
