Excerpt from “I’m OK, I’m Pig” by Kim Hyesoon (trans. Don Mee Choi), as well as an interview talking about the work:
“I live in a world full of death, I head towards death, what is spoken and I are erased simultaneously by silence, and with death-filled language I try to form images—isn’t this poetry?
…
A horde of healthy pigs like young strong men get thrown into the pit. […]
They boil up like a crummy stew
Blood flows out of the grave
On a rainy night fishy-smelling pig ghosts flash flash
Busted intestine tunnel their way up from the grave and soar above the mound
A resurrection! Intestine is alive! Like a snake!
Bloom, Pig!
