"Life" by Kim Nam Jo Author's Profile By Kim Nam Jo on Apr 20 2015 20:25:47 Vol.27 Spring 2015   Selected Poems of Kim Namjo Kim Nam Jo David R. McCann and Hyunjae Yee Sallee Cornell East Asia Series 1993 140pp. 0939657058     Life comes with its cold body. The winter barley growing stubbornly from the naked, frozen ground, Mother of life, even she came with her cold body from a distant place. And truth, shattered, also comes, burning in fire. Tossed aside, bleeding, it comes. Behold the winter trees that groom themselves with the razor of cold. See the leaves that fall down and are called away to the providence of future days, and the branch, charged with electricity, that turns to flint. A person who does not know how to love cracked or misshaped things is not a friend One who cannot kiss the scarred and injured skin is not a friend. Life comes with its cold body. Passing the twelfth portal of cold, in the large flakes of snow falling down white, it comes. pp. 76 - 77   Twitter Facebook Google Email .
