Sentimental Cremation Poem by Suchoon Mo

Sentimental Cremation


1
first snow in the cemetery
I cremate dead wood
in the iron stove

2
the begining has ended
the end has not begun yet
the winter

3
you have circumcised the potato!

4
peel the onion
peel her clothes off
then such divine scent
of a naked goddess
will make you weep
and repent

5
tomorrow is yours
your yesterday is gone

6
you were divorced five times
because you were married five times
but you will die only once
because you were born only once

7
my alluring lady
I have two desires
both heterosexual
would you like to have one?
I only need one
when I look at you

8
to be continued
because I cannot continue
