                    부자유친(父子有親)

 

 

                           

                    어린 날, 아버지에게 슬쩍 

                          

                    안기고 싶었다 

                          

                    내 나이 마흔 훌쩍 넘어선 가을날 

                          

                    추석 무렵, 

                          

                    처음으로 아버지에게 안겼다 

                          

                    처음으로 아버지에게 안긴 내가 

                          

                    사기그릇에 담겨 아직 따뜻한 

                          

                    아버지를 안고 울었다 

                          

                    서러워서 서러워서 울었다 

                                                      

 

                    그 자리에 

                          

                    아버지의 손자는 보이지 않았다 

                          

                    아버지의 손자는 몇 살 넘어 

                          

                    제 아비를 안고 묻을까
