Land of Scarecrows (허수아비들의 땅)

These carps show a human face on their heads.

The mouth is facing up like a human nose

with two black spots that look like eyes.

But those spots are nostrils,

the real eyes on the sides look like ears.

Both carps are 80cm long and their irregular features

classify them as 'human-faced fishes'.

They look like 'Seaman',

a Japanese game character from 1999,

and the human-faced fish that was

a controversy in the USA last year.

Bones ejected from nose holes look like the ridge of nose.

This is a malformed fish with illusions of human features.

This fish was found in the pond of a home in Chung-Ju.

Malformations aren't rare in

hybrids of native and Israeli carps.

Why are cosmoses blooming all year round?

With a touch of thin blue remained

when holding a sunset in the sky

I hear a sound gently coming round a long way

over my shaking hand.

I am still on the road

Fluttering on the autumn beach

like a tail flag on the pole, still I stay on the road.

Your back falls into blue

spinning in the universe called the memory

mm mm

Hiding my tears Taking a rest in silence

You and I are on the road.

It's weird.

Have you eaten anything unusual lately?

Even the tissue scans didn't show anything.

Your body smells funny too.

Find a larger hospital for a thorough examination.

There is nothing else we can do.
