[My Poem] // EN ; translated by chatGPT / KR ; original

<The Sea That Reaches>
<도달하는 바다>

Beyond the far horizon,
I have come this way,
against the waves that are you.
저 먼 수평선 너머
당신이란 파도를 거슬러 여기까지 왔습니다.

Even that end,
which once seemed so distant—
if it is only a gateway
to someplace farther still,
how many more steps must I take
to understand you?
아득해 보이던 그 끝마저
사실은 더 머나먼 곳의 길목이라면
내가 얼마나 더 걸어야 당신을 이해할 수 있을까요

And in return,
how many steps must you take
to reach me?
What worth lies in those steps?
반대로 당신이 나에게 도달하기 위해선
얼마나 많은 걸음을 걸어야 할까요
그 걸음은 얼마나 가치 있을까요

Transparent waters touch my calves—
cold, yet lukewarm;
warm, yet never sweet.
Piercing, aching tides
rush fiercely into me.
투명하고 맑은 바닷물이 내 종아리를 적십니다.
차갑지만 미지근하고
따뜻하지만 달콤하진 않은
시리도록 아린 것들이 나에게 지독하게 밀려옵니다.

Ah—such painful things.
When I think of the path you crossed
to come this far,
I feel sorry even for what
I never did,
and long to apologize
again and again.
아아 이토록 아픈 것들.
당신이 내게 오기 위해 지나온 그 길을 생각하면
나는 내가 하지 않은 일들에도
미안하다 거듭 사과하고 싶을 뿐입니다.

Though no milestones can be set,
I walk my wide shore,
picking small stones beneath my feet.
May your feet
always remain tender,
soft as the first shoots of spring.
이정표는 세울 순 없지만 나는 내 드넓은 백사장을 거닐며
발에 밟히는 작은 돌들을 골라냅니다.
당신의 발이 언제나 새순처럼 부드럽고 연하기를

⸻

*Closing Note

Every tide is another step toward you.
모든 파도는 당신을 향한 또 하나의 걸음.
May the path we take to reach each other never be too harsh.
우리가 서로에게 다다르는 길이 너무 험난하지만은 않기를.

[My Poem] // EN ; translated by chatGPT / KR ; original

-

<Circle and Mold>
<동그라미와 곰팡이>

I opened the square
and found a small circle inside.
I folded one corner of the circle,
its surface forming a grain.
With each fold,
my fingertips whispered in tiny creases—
scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch.
네모를 열었다
조그만 원이 있다
나는 이 원의 귀퉁이를 살짝 접었다
표면이 결을 만들다
접힌 원 귀퉁이들이 하나 둘 생겨날 때마다
손가락에 주름들이 사각거린다
사각사각 사각사각

Yesterday, mold bloomed on bread.
It came from nowhere I could name,
from no moment I could recall.
Once invisible,
it wandered back through the rustling folds
and appeared,
as if it had always been there.
어제는 빵에 곰팡이가 피었다.
언제 어디서 왔는지도 모를 곰팡이
눈에 보이지도 않던 곰팡이가
사각거리는 주름들을 거슬러
아무렇지 않게 나타났다

Inside the stacked creases,
each mold spore breathes.
Fleeting moments cling quietly to the surface,
unbothered.
In the wrinkle of the circle, a spore bursts.
켜켜이 쌓여진 주름들 속
곰팡이 포자 하나하나가 숨쉰다
찰나의 순간들은 그렇게 태연한 모습으로
표면에 살짝 붙어있다
동그라미의 주름 속에서 포자를 터뜨렸다

The square meets the circle.
A folded corner rests in my pocket,
carrying the faintest trace of mold.
I think this spore is not only rot,
but holds some small meaning still—
tucked softly into a narrow crease,
arriving before I know it,
appearing quietly, almost shy.
네모와 원의 교차
주머니 속에 살짝 접어놨던 귀퉁이
아주 작게 붙어 있던 곰팡이의 흔적
나는 이 포자가 마냥 썩은 게 아닌
그나마의 어떤 의미를 품고 있는 채로
가느다란 주름 속 살며시 숨어있다
어느 샌가 모르게 나타나선
조금 멋쩍은 듯 고요히 나타나길 바란다


*
[Closing Note]

Sometimes, the smallest and quietest beginnings hold the deepest meanings.
Like spores we cannot see, certain moments simply appear—
shy, unannounced, yet changing the surface of our lives.
아주 작고 조용한 시작이 가장 깊은 의미를 품을 때가 있다.
눈에 보이지 않는 포자처럼, 어떤 순간들은 불쑥 나타나
수줍게, 아무 말 없이, 우리의 표면을 바꿔 놓는다.

## 3. 8/4/2025

[ Review - F1 ; The movie ]

- Watched my first ever 4D movie—you know, moving seats, wind, water splashes, even smells and temp changes—and honestly, best choice ever. Felt like I was in the race myself.

- Way more intense than a normal action movie. Probably ’cause this sport is actually life-or-death.

- Movie was super fun and really well made.

- Gave off this vibe of a sleek modernist building made of smooth concrete.

- Maybe it’s Jerry Bruckheimer’s (CSI) touch, but the shots and edits had total crime-drama vibes… or maybe that’s just the director? Not sure.

Good 👍
