Memory



Translated from the Russian by Alec Vagapov





I"ll never forget

The mournful break of the day!

The white

Striped sky and expanse.

Your hands

And your body,

Ivory-white.

I"ll never forget

The bank of the river

Where we parted.

I"ll never forget

The sorrow

That drowned

I n the depth of my eyes.

I"ll never go there.

If I do,

The winds will be wailing

In the language of yulguns1

That grew

Far away over ravines.
