61) A Tribe of Amen


       Wolran Kim


 

1

Angels who escaped fifty steps,wanting to kill those who ran a hundred steps

Their praying hands are never ashamed

People sell Heaven with the Bible in their hands

Amen, Amen, the louder voice judges others more loudly

Whenever I am enviable of the louder tongue of Amen so easy and stately

Whenever I am enviable of the brilliant white shirts and neckties

I want to become a prostitute in the Bible

Who is never ashamed of hitching up her skirt

 

2

I can’t say Amen

For fear of forgetting His name turning back to the world

 

I can’t say Amen

For fear of forgetting His promise going over a doorsill

 

I can’t say Amen

For fear of forgetting His precious blood falling down over a stone

 

I can’t say Amen

For fear of forgetting His grace walking over the hills

 

I can’t say Amen

For fear of forgetting His salvation crossing the sea

 

A sound of Amen, stepping on weak people

A sound of Amen, killing live people

 

I often can’t pronounce Amen

In the car on the way home

 

Amen, Amen, Amen

Stepping, turning, and running

My

Amen, Amen, Amen
