Publisher's Synopsis
Safe Zone
by Sang-Ok Shim May is the month of remembrance of thoseWho died a long time ago*, and
I am reflecting on it
While coloring my life.
The natural language of the world that chews
On other people's flesh
With heart-filled messages
Flies to me like grass seeds. While passing Banpo Bridge
I almost caused an accident
Because I crossed the centerline.
There is only a thin line
In the center of life,
And my life always
Insisted on having the second-lane speed. I check myself again:
Like the street trees
that always stand there,
Birds fly From a safe zone
That slows down life speed.
