At the view cafe in Gungpyeong Port


Where nothing in particular was in sight,
not even striking in the reflected light,
that faint horizon over there —
why I stared at it for so long,
I still don't know

It was only as I was about to stand up that the rippling waves caught my eye,
and only after I opened the cafe door and stepped outside did I feel, in ears that ached, that such a fierce wind had been blowing.

The coffee was strong
Late in the evening, my heart starts pounding, belatedly.
