The Cricket Poem by Kinsley Lee

The Cricket



Young-Jae, Kwon

On a sobbing autumn night
The sound of weeping faintly heard

Playing the strings of the violin
Breaking through the stillness,

In midnight,
Your soliloquy,
That echoes through the empty heart.
(From the Young-Jae, Kwon's the Anthology of the Sijo. Translated by Kinsley Lee.30th, Mar.2023)
