발아하지 못한 추억들이

 

 

 

 

 

낙화의 그늘로                                                                             사월의 강이 깊어지자                                                                             굳어진 후회의 패각들마저                                                                             흐름을 멈추지 않고                                                                            쓰라린 유속으로                                                                            갯벌로 변한 기억의 퇴적층을 훑어가며                                                                                                                  굽이진 세월의 길목에서 버려진                                                                            삼십년 넘게 아픔처럼 잉태한                                                                            남루한 무정란들을 묻어 주려 한다                                                                               더이상 발아(發芽)하지 못한                                                                           추억의 씨앗들을 묻고                                                                            가슴의 화석이 되라고                                                                           어둔 시간의 재를 덮어 주고                                                                            빈자리에 고인돌을 세운다                                                                           그러나 사월은                                                                                                            아물지 못한 꿈의 씨앗들마져                                                                           진달래 꽃물처럼 몸부림쳐                                                                           푸르른 슬픔이 웃자라 버리는 잔인한 계절                                                                           발아하지 못한 추억들이                                                                          그리움으로 번져오는 봄 밤                                                                          울 너머 낙화의 순간이 환하다                                                            2003.4.6일. 먼    숲.
