Before Getting Dark 2 by Lee Seong-Bok

Before Getting Dark 2

 
Dripping their watercolors the flowering trees
walk in a line
Their modest lantern parade unending
 
Where were we going
Our wedding clothes smeared with deathly light
Everyone laughing in fragrant white
 
Where were we
Before it got too dark
I saw you again and again
 
Before it got dark
my sight dimmed and
in the lines of flowering trees I saw you not
 
(Translated by Anton Hur)
