눈물

​박기범

​입술 앞에 겨울이 서 있다
말 한 줌
손바닥에서 미끄러지면
누군가의 가슴에
얼음이 박힌다
​그래서 나는
오늘도 말을 덜어낸다
밭에 씨를 아끼듯
말을 아끼면
사람이 자란다
​소리를 높이면
뜻이 부서진다
산이 크게 말하지 않는 이유를
나는 늦게 배웠다
낮은 목소리는
우물처럼 깊다
조용한 물이
목마른 얼굴을 오래 비춘다
​귀를 훔치는 말은
바람처럼 스쳐 가고
가슴을 흔드는 말은
겨울 논에 남은 볏짚처럼
오래 따뜻하다
​칭찬은
마을 골목을 천천히 걷는 발자국
험담은
밤마다 하늘을 건너는 까마귀 떼
​혀로만 말하지 말라던
늙은 나무의 그림자가
내 어깨를 잡는다
눈으로 말하면
사람의 마음이 먼저 고개를 끄덕인다
​입술의 짧은 숨이
어떤 가슴에서는
삼십 년 눈물로 산다
​그래서 오늘도
나는 말을 묶어 둔다
혀는 내 것이지만
한 번 떠난 말은
돌아오지 않는 강물
​어둠 속에서도
사람의 등을 베지 않는
따뜻한 말 한 개
겨울 주머니에 넣어
천천히 건네는 밤이다

Tears
​By Park Ki-bum
​Winter stands before my lips.
If a handful of words
slips from my palm,
ice becomes lodged
in someone’s heart.
​That is why, today again,
I pare down my words.
When words are spared,
like seeds saved for the field,
a person grows.
​When the voice is raised,
the meaning shatters.
I learned late in life
why the mountains do not speak loudly.
A low voice
is as deep as a well.
Quiet water reflects
a thirsty face for a long time.
​Words that steal the ear
pass by like the wind,
but words that shake the heart
stay warm for a long time,
like rice straw left in a winter field.
​Praise is
footsteps walking slowly through a village alley.
Slander is
a flock of crows crossing the sky every night.
​The shadow of an old tree,
which told me not to speak with only the tongue,
grasps my shoulder.
When you speak with your eyes,
the human heart nods first.
​A short breath from the lips
lives as thirty years of tears
in some hearts.
​That is why, today again,
I keep my words tied up.
The tongue is mine,
but once a word departs,
it is a river that never returns.
​Even in the darkness,
it is a night to slowly offer
a single warm word—
one that does not cut into a person’s back—
kept tucked away in a winter pocket.
