The woman leaves and the man is left alone
again.
When a woman once prosperous hometown fell
behind, a woman who left for the city visited her hometown with an old bag
after years.
She walks along the side of the pier where
small fishing boats nodded. She meets an old boyfriend who couldn't leave town
and was soothed with alcohol. He welcomes her with a shy. They have been
together for a while, but once again the woman leaves, and the man is left
alone again.
I visited Canada's border village on the
eastern end of Maine. This village reminds me of a a heartbreaking story movie
that a woman leaves a dilapidated village and returns, but she leaves again in
the face of a more backward village.
I opened the door of the lodging office on the
hill. A middle-aged woman welcomed me with a bright smile as if It's been a
while since she has had a visitor. The wrinkles on the face become deeper in
the strong sea breeze. Does a woman who seems to have a hidden story as much as
a crease keep a spooky lodging office and wait for a lover who has left the
neighborhood?
The elusive small flowers in the thicket
overlooking the sea are seen with an old pink fluffy bat that has lost its
clarity in the strong wind. They seems to be poor as they can't die waiting for
their master, who has gone out to a wider sea or left for big city.
It was once a city with a small hillside where
a big boat would come and go with its boat humming. I can see it in a plausible
building on the main street of the neighborhood where people would have been
busy in the past. But now they're just hanging out empty, almost like throwing
it out. There are a lot of signs for the house to be sold house. The Signs are
also worn out or lying on the floor, as people who left their hometowns may put
them up a long time ago.
In front of the lodge, the flags of various
countries are fluttering in the strong winds on the flagpole hanging on the
railing. There is also a Korean flag. It's a pleasure with a miserable feeling.
How can the Korean flag come all the way here like me and suffer from strong
winds? Did another Korean come here?
