흙 1
?쭉정이에 가슴 아파


돌아간 해 늦가을
흙은 지쳐서 쓰러졌었다.

한 송이 꽃, 한 포기 풀
곡식 낟알 하나라도
품속에서 태어난 건
다 아끼고 싶었다.
모양이야 일그러져도
허물을 묻어 주고 싶었다.
기름기가 다 마를지라도
더 넉넉하게
젖꼭지를 물려 주고 싶었다.

지친 채 누웠어도
가물에 못 견뎌
쭉정이로 돌아온 풀씨가
가슴 아팠다.


겨울 땅속

겨울 땅속은
엄마 같은 마음
찬 바람에
감기 들까 봐
개구릴 불러들이고
뱀도 씨앗도
모두 불러들였지.

겨울 땅속은
선생님 같은 마음
그 많은 나무와 풀들이
때를 가려
잎 피고 꽃 필 줄 알고
알맞게 자랄 줄
알게 해 주네.
