At the Sacred Site of Jeoldusan

Kinsley Lee

As people gather and hear the drum-beats, swimming

Fishes startle to sigh,

Legal executors hurriedly go

And ravens roam and cry.

The river, once stained with red blood, now

Returns to its verdant hue,

From afar, it welcomes the weary souls

That Jamdu peak church's pew.
