Poet’s Daily Log (10)

Written by Ucheol Hyeon

A poet forgot poems and forgot sense of poems
because a poet lives without writing a poem for a long time

A poet lived like that for a long time
and a poet forgot that he is a poet

A poet became a forgotten poet before one knows
because a poet didn’t write a poem as a poet

Here,
The very same forgotten poet is writing a poem again

Again, to begin my work that I didn’t do all the while,
It was difficult for me to decide the beginning
