추운 나라에서 돌아온 부역자

The collaborator who came in from the cold

[suminbahc]

Oh my, how many obituaries have I skipped?

오호통재라, 내가 몇 건의 부고를 건너뛰었던가?

이 텀블러는 사실 내가 일할 때 종종 듣는 음악들을 다른 곳에서도 듣고 싶어질 때를 위해 마련해놓은 것인데, 어쩌다보니 세상을 떠난 이들 중 기억해두고픈 이름을 남겨두는 곳이 되고 말았다. 헌데 나는 부고를 쓰기 지쳤다. 지금 내가 원하는 부고는 윤석열의 것뿐이다. 다만, 그가 국가와 국민과 법의 준엄한 심판을 받아 들어간 감옥에서 오래오래 썩어문드러지다 그 끝에 전해주길 바란다. 시대와 괴리된 극우망상유튜버가 체포되는 그날까지 이 텀블러에 남겨둘 문장은 다음과 같다. 윤석열을 체포하라 내란수괴 처단하라 국민의힘 해산하라 내란의힘 자폭하라

The Mower

The mower stalled, twice; kneeling, I found   A hedgehog jammed up against the blades,   Killed. It had been in the long grass. I had seen it before, and even fed it, once.   Now I had mauled its unobtrusive world   Unmendably. Burial was no help: Next morning I got up and it did not. The first day after a death, the new absence   Is always the same; we should be careful Of each other, we should be kind   While there is still time. - Philip Larkin

I have 160,000 some followers here so I thought I should just say that the vast majority of you have been really great.

I have likely wasted too much of myself online, but I always have to defend blogging as, for me, it created a kind of colloquy, where looking for things to post and seeing other’s comments and choices on their own blogs, has been very educational in my learning about art.

I think i understand, better than I used to, some tributaries of art history and the immense contributions of sincerity so many artists give, free of the expectations of wealth or notoriety.

The art world’s stupidity and marauding avarice have turned a lot of people off, but I’d suggest that there’s still little better for you than engaging in self expression in whatever medium you might apprehend best

Art won’t save the world but it might save a piece of you that others can’t defile from their predatory perch that longs to rob you of yourself, sometimes just for the practice of doing so.

Maybe I’ll come back at some point sooner or later, or quite possibly, this is it. My little routine feels irrelevant right now. I imagine it always has been.

I hope all of you find some bright moments inside yourselves. Outside is truly madness.

Love, save us once We're far from where we fall Love, save us once Beware what you want Trust us now It's time to let me go Give up on us Follow what you want Trust us now It's time to let me go Give up Give our soul away Now you will go Save us once You'll never let go Where we fall Your memories are wrong Save us once Don't ever wake up What you thought you want You'll never wake up It's time to let me never let go Just follow in your memories alone It's time to let me never wake up We die alone RIP James McCaffrey

遙か空に旅客機 音もなく 아득한 하늘에 보잉 소리도 없이 公團の屋根の上 どこへ行く 공단의 지붕 위 어디로 가나 誰かの不機嫌も 寢靜まる夜さ 누군가의 불쾌함도 잠잠해진 밤 バイパスの澄んだ空氣と 僕の町 우회도로의 맑은 공기와 나의 거리 泣かないでくれ ダ-リン ほら 月明かりが 울지 말아요 달링, 봐요 달빛이 長い夜に寢つけない二人の額を撫でて 기나긴 밤 잠 못 드는 둘의 이마를 어루만져요 まるで僕らはエイリアンズ 마치 우리는 에이리언 禁斷の實 ほおばっては 금단의 열매를 가득 깨물고 月の裏を夢みて 달의 저편을 꿈꾸며 キミが好きだよ エイリアン 그대가 좋아요 에이리언 この星のこの僻地で 이 별의 이 외딴 곳에서 魔法をかけてみせるさ いいかい 마법을 걸어볼게요, 괜찮죠? どこかで不揃いな 遠吠え 어디선가 뜬금없이 울부짖는 소리 仮面のようなスポ-ツカ-が 火を吐いた 가면 같은 스포츠카가 불을 뿜었네 笑っておくれ ダ-リン ほら 素晴らしい夜に 웃어요 달링, 봐요 근사한 밤에 僕の短所をジョ-クにしても眉をひそめないで 내 단점으로 농담해도 눈살 찌푸리지 말아요 そうさ僕らはエイリアンズ 그래요 우리는 에이리언 街灯に沿って步けば 가로등을 따라 걸으면 ごらん 新世界のようさ 봐요 신세계 같아요 キミが好きだよ エイリアン 그대가 좋다고요 에이리언 無いものねだりもキスで 없는 걸 달라 비는 것도 키스로 魔法のように解けるさ いつか 마법처럼 이뤄질 거예요, 언젠가 踊ろうよ さぁ ダ-リン ラストダンスを 춤춰요 자 달링, 라스트 댄스를 暗いニュ-スが日の出とともに町に降る前に 우울한 뉴스가 해가 뜨면 거리에 내려앉기 전에 まるで僕らはエイリアンズ 마치 우리들은 에이리언 禁斷の實 ほおばっては 금단의 과일을 가득 깨물고 月の裏を夢みて 달의 저편을 꿈꾸며 キミを愛してる エイリアン 그대를 사랑해요 에이리언 この星の僻地の僕らに 이 별의 외딴 곳에 있는 우리에게 魔法をかけてみせるさ 마법을 걸어볼게요 大好さエイリアン わかるかい 정말 좋아해요 에이리언, 알고 있죠?

Eyes, they never lie. I see you hiding your heart from mine; eternal sunshine.

What if we erase all of our mistakes. No memory to retrace; could we spark again?

I want to be nice to you. I want to be kind to you. I want to be good to you. I want to be good.

You've got to be brave and welcome change.

Epitaph On A Tyrant

Perfection, of a kind, was what he was after, And the poetry he invented was easy to understand; He knew human folly like the back of his hand, And was greatly interested in armies and fleets; When he laughed, respectable senators burst with laughter, And when he cried the little children died in the streets.

- W.H. Auden

어느 폭군에 대한 비문(碑文) W.H. 오든 그야 그 분도 일종의 완벽함을 추구하신 거죠, 그 분이 발명하신 시는 아주 이해하기 쉽잖아요; 인간의 어리석음이라면 손바닥 보듯 훤하셨고, 군대와 함대에 관심이 참 대단하셨죠; 그 분이 웃으시면 존경받는 의원님들은 폭소를 터뜨렸고, 그 분이 울으시면 어린 아이들이 길바닥에서 죽었답니다.
