톱니처럼 자라는 슬픔에게

 

 

      

 

   

              하늘이 온통

                      멍투성인 까닭은

                                저를 대신하여

                                          가슴치는 일이 많았음이라

 

                                                           말라버린 눈뿌린

                                                                    붉어지도록

                                                                                밑둥부터 저릿저릿

                                                                                           젖이 돌기시작하면

 

 

 

              수양 홀로 앉은

                        강가에 부연

                                   물안개가 젖어오고

 

                                              노랗다가 얼뜬 단풍이었다가

                                                         까마중처럼 익어가는 그 하늘에는 이제

                                                                    너의 가슴 다른 한쪽이 둥글게 떠오를 것이다

 

 

 

      

              노둣돌에

                        까치발로 선 기다림은 멀지않다

 

                                         저, 저 달을 보아라,

                                                      네가 잃은것을 보아라

 

                                                                   어린 길고양이

                                                                              아웅아웅 달뜬 걸음으로 달려와

 

                                                                                          밤새

                                                                                                 달젖 쪽쪽이며 어미 품속처럼 뛰노나니

 

 

 

 

                                  항가시로 가슴을 문질러

                                              톱니처럼 자라는 슬픔에게

 

                                                                 나직한 목소리로

                                                                             안녕을 말할찌라,

                                                                                           오오 내사랑이여!
