  The sea dies, too.
  When I see the faces
  of a tortured people crushing
  like a sand dune,
  I know it.
  When I see the hollow eyes
  stained with tears,
  I know it.
  In the eyes,
  the unmoving bogs,
  without luster,
  the sea was dead.
  Grinning with white teeth,
  the sea comes running
  like a hyena.
  Rushing in dark bulk,
  the sea breaks
  in sending up a white spray.
  Like leaves of the tree in early summer,
  the sea waves thousands hands.
  The sea
  goes on rolling over the grass fields
  of faint memories of the desert inhabitants,
  like the parched river-bottom.

Translated by Jeo-youn Noh
