A DAYDREAM
after Yun Donhju
A daydream --
the tower of my soul
Without a word I build the tower
into the sky of pride and vanity.
Unmindful of the possibility of collapse
I pile story upon story.
My endless daydream --
the ocean of my soul,
I reach both arms out
and swim freely in the ocean
towards horizon edge.
The golden quest for knowledge.
