76) A Winter Hairtail


       Wolran Kim



Standing over the white snowy night


Seventy years of spicy pepper soaking into the red meat


In the kimchi jar


Palpitating time which was once a part of the sea


A few silver hairtails with bones were fermenting


In her garden that seemed like the coastline of her hometown


With the mother spirit that plants the sea on the land


The hairtail was fermented by the cold sound of the water vein


Her naked body has no shiny scales


Yearning and sorrow mellow as the smell of mud on dry land


The silver waves rise from sea level


Those days were also dream-like


Cabbage was piled into pyramids


Seemed holy as the autumn harvest of her entire life


In her mixed time, the waist of her life grew stiff with a towel


In my childhood, she took kimchi through the door of a hard winter


It makes me sore as if I had put frostbitten feet on the hot ondol* floor


Even without winter kimchi,**even without a buried jar


In the fall of my middle-age, I eat a piece of hairtail


Was it just yesterday or the day before yesterday?


Plowing through the river that never freezes, even in the winter


As a habit, I eat my mom, who is like a Cretaceous fossil


 



* Ondol: A traditional Korean heating system that transfers heat from a stove to an adjoining room via horizontal smoke passages under a thick floor.


** Winter Kimchi: Koreans prepare kimchi for the winter, and they used to bury it underground in the olden days because there was no refrigeration. They also put many different kinds of fish in kimchi depending on the locale.
