attempt 1:
the words for apple and apology
sound the same in Korean – 사과 and 사과
attempt 2:
twice i’ve stood in an apple orchard
once as a girl visiting Lesotho
there was no DSTV but come nighttime
there were so many skies bursting through
the darkness it almost made up
for the silence
the second time I was just outside
of Daegu i had payed to pick
apples could have as many as i
could fit in my basket spent most
the day eyeing those out of reach
attempt 3:
what i mean to say is that sometimes i
picture you as an apple orchard
all those potential forgivenesses
begging to be wrested from the branch
사과 and 사과 and 사과 sure the hanja
is different but in a poem what is the difference
between an apple orchard and you closing
the distance between the two of us
