Ferry

That is your familiar ferry
The sound of a ship enters the petals of sunlight smashed by wind
The time on bird wings
is flying away like water drops

The childhood still circumrotates along the shore
The sand of the past rushes toward you
The audiences and you gaze at one another
You step down from the ship ladder
with snow spots on the temples

The leaf blown away by wind
brings back more leaves
The story turns to yellow from green after repetition
flashing in the light by the window 
The seed has grown into a tree with human face
The road runs out of the screen, the root crosses beneath the sea
connecting to the farther places

For the coming of a moment
all the dismay wrapped by dark clouds
the dream that wakes up from a shell
the eye wave from a surf
are never dried by the wind of time

Those scars of stars
we can never see
only imaging that the world beyond us is beautiful
and believing that what cannot be seen is most certain
and feeling that our bodies are blossoming and ripening
then preparing for the inscriptions on a stele
with music, sigh, and metaphor
