Catching a Bug


A Korean Poem
When I catch a bug in the room
All of a sudden
I realize that the bug is myself,
I open the window and
look into the distance.

A bird flies across the blue sky.
It flies to the branch of a tree.
sitting there it begins to sing,


Singing
In which I hear the ancient sound of crying.

When I catch a bug in the room
What do I grasp?
What do I miss?
