Lips and Buttocks

Lips and Buttocks
Yong Wan Choi 08.23.08

They are alive
lips and buttocks

Lips that eat laughter and drink tears
eat the pain of living beasts
and drink the fresh joy of living fruit
pain gains joy and lives again

The buttocks make the face lovely
find a mate while they live
take a rapturous moonlit night into the belly
and give birth to a child in a moaning dawn

A sweet baby's darling
lips and buttocks
joy and suffering grow up together
fighting and love live upon this earth

In the middle of a field where the sun rises I build my house
the kitchen and the bedroom make a pair
between heaven and earth, people live
