Q1. 어디서 오셨나요.
거기는 어떤 곳인가요?
(Jiseung)
Q1. Where are you from?
What kind of place is it?
사람이 별로 없어 어딜가도 혼자인 곳.
A place with so few people that you're alone wherever you go.
갓길에 솟아있는 엉겅퀴.
엉겅퀴가 바싹 마른 후
하얀색, 분홍색 종이 어우려저 한무더기로 피는 코스모스.
Thistles springing up
along the roadside.
Once the thistles dry up,
White and pink varieties mingle together, As cosmos bloom in clusters.
외국인 노동자들의
더운 외국어 대화
at the farm next to the house,
and the heated conversations of foreign workers.
화학비료, 쌉싸름한 상추 줄기의 진액
in the sand, chemical fertilizers,
and the juice of bitter lettuce stems.
the hometown of
the poet Cho Ji-hoon.
