Kim So-wŏl (1902-1934)



Azaleas by Kim So-wŏl



When seeing me sickens you

and you walk out

I'll send you off without a word, no fuss.



Yongbyon's mount Yaksan's

azaleas

by the armful I'll scatter in your path.



With parting steps

on those strewn flowers

treading lightly, go on, leave.



When seeing me sickens you

and you walk out

why, I'd rather die than weep one tear.
