The Red Ume Flowers In Tongdo Temple Poem by Kinsley Lee
The Red Ume Flowers In Tongdo Temple
Sang-Cheol, Han
The stooped Ume branch, the shadow
Of the moon is wandering.
It comes spring at Tongdo Temple,
So rubbing the cheeks on the air.
Secretly,
The tongue stretching out,
Which redder than the saries are!
(Translated by Kinsley Lee)
*sary: small crystals sometimes found among cremated remains of monks, and regarded as sacred relics.
