Baridegi sister

Kim Mi-sun

once upon a time
gannan-i, Short haired girl
older sister two years older
Carrying a younger sister two years older
set out on the road

​

Station Maraboshi* Past the three-way intersection
The road to Munsil Angol
If manage to get past a car
The new gravel road that covered the white dust

​

Big girl, little girl
Everytime hit ass
Dried over a red skirt
ass slides down

hit it three or four times and run out of breath
Leaning on the trunk of a poplar tree
lowered sister from her neck
In the morning, the fine clean jeogori gets rid of pus
The light pink ribbon was also stained with dust

​
Like a big middle-aged woman
with one's back stretched out
As if bracken's hand is a woman's hand of a woman
wiped the little girl's forehead

 
Clouds over the top of the poplar tree
A loaded car making a noise in the distance
Put on a pillar of dust and get rid of it

​Today is my youngest aunt's wedding ceremony
tall aunt
Get beaten up for being tall
The day barely got married to an old bachelor from 80 miles away

A tent is raised in the yard of the mother-in-law's house
Green bamboo on both sides of the wedding table
between the blue and red necked geese
80 miles away old bachelor's office set up
Angol Old Maid Yeonji Gonji Filming Day

​
Narrow road with dianthus flowers
The smell of oil is savory
The hem of the tent and the hem of my uncle's robe
fluttering dancing day

​

News of the feast rises
The big girl sister put on a skirt and jacket
put it in pink hair
The road ahead of mom and dad
 

​
The mother of the pupa factory was busy preparing food for the workers, 
but she left the road carrying her dark-faced girl and younger sister on her back

 
to be four or five years old let alone walk Carrying a younger sister who can't even stand up More common than town hide and seek Carrying a younger sister dressed in a gapsa skirt and jacket on her back
six or seven year old sister stood on the road

​

​go and rest
go and rest
rest and go again
she was walking along Jeolla-do Red Tot Road
Like Han Ha-un, a leper poet who lost one toe and then another

A girl two years older
Carrying a girl two years younger
After walking a few steps, the buttocks fell out
Carrying a younger sister who fell down her ass after walking a few steps

On the way to the wedding of mother-in-law's aunt
Blowing away the dust with a new gravel field
Clouds rose above the tops of the poplar trees

* Maruboshi : The name of Korea Express during the Japanese occupation
