South Korea’s Liberation
South Korea’s thirteenth guide, who rode Korea as his chariot Only for six breathes, guided by the thirteenth star of Iscariot Under the hoofs, he defiled the white flag, as yin and yang turned again The slave of Seokga, the demiurge of sinful men Hungry ghost of Chun Doo-hwan, the cornerstone of the people's burden...

Eat All You Want
Chinese trollers Cranes and pulleys motor oil saliva Fishhook cockroach antennas dipped to the oceans Thousands of sailing creepy crawlers Bandits with razors Cross the boundless seas Devours crumbs of every kind of confiscated fish Left to crawl or swim on the ocean floor The hulls share their creaking space With bunks for 20-year-old sailor slaves Signed on Then denied Port for up to three years “Mama...

Noisy Korea Now My Home
When I first came To South Korea in 1979 To do my Peace Corps duty In a rural country town, I thought that the old name Of Korea “the land of the morning calm” Was absurd. Korea was a noisy place From early morning on. Cars, horns, radio TV blaring People talking to crowds everywhere At night people drink and dine. And loudspeakers Blasting you awake At 6...

South Korea Spring
In this city, concrete and glass, ancient temples, and hidden parks, on this river were made our schemes to break with tradition, with K-Pop dreams. Ajoomas walk here, comfortably clothed, in western styles, young beauties pose, taking photos under the trees, couples strolling in the breeze. The sound of windchimes fills the air and you laugh and toss your raven hair, follow the clouds of blossoms, pink-white, hypnotic fragrance through the night. Suzy Davies, 2019, Copyright.

North Korea
His eyes grow cold as his hair crawls down his shirt to his spoon, into his cabbage water. He cries inside, for his innocence lost, for who this will make him become….for what he cannot have. Inhumane, he is like cattle and he is branded. Unjust, unknown, he whispers “please…” and they see him….”Stupid...
