Hamheo-Pavilion Poem by Kinsley Lee

Hamheo-Pavilion

Dam-Woon, Kang

I look on the westward sky, dragon-like clouds are forming and billowing,
And finishing a ritual for rain, a county magistrate's slowly returning
On horseback. They turn on the red candles at Hamheo-Pavilion, when sun's setting,
The young ladies're singing songs, and the poems in the sky, the white gulls are writing.
