86) Crying

Wolran Kim

An American dog cries Bowwow, a Korean dog cries Mungmung
An American cat cries Meowmeow, a Korean cat cries Yaongyaong
An American cow cries Moomoo, a Korean cow cries Ummeumme
An American pig cries Oinkoink, a Korean pig cries Kkoolkkool
An American chick cries Cheepcheep, a Korean chick cries Ppyakppyak
An American frog cries Croakcroak, a Korean frog cries Gegolgegol

Do dogs cry in their native tongues or with foreign accents?
Did cats mature with mother tongues?
Blood is thicker than water
Lineage is tougher than the water I drank for 20 years
Crying, taught from mother, cries first in my memory
Watching the dog’s mouth and the cat’s tongue
My ears get thinner and milder

A dog cries from next door, Bowwow
