단감A Sweet Persimmon—장석주 시인
단감 꼭지 떨어진 자리는
수 만 봄이 머물고
왈칵, 우주가 쏟아져 들어온 흔적,
배꼽은 돌아갈 길을 잠근다.
이 길은 금계랍 덧칠한 어매의 젖보다
상처가 본디 꽃이 진
The dried stem of a sweet persimmon is its navel.
The stump a vestige of the place
where once thousand springtimes passed
and where the universe gushed in.
The navel locks the path
there is no retreat.
The path is as bitter
as quinine on a mother’s breast
and the path is too long and rough.
Such is the scar of a fallen flower.
Quinine was commonly used in 1950s thru 1990s when Korean mothers tried to stop  their children breast feeding when they become 12 or 24 months old.
