Son of Man
– A Carpenter’s Chronicle by Nam, Jin Woo

When it rains, he jumps out of his drink and shouts while brandishing a hammer in the air. “I’ll put an end to it this time,” he declares. He promises to nail it down so that your son never enters this world again and engages in nonsense. With the sound of thunder approaching from afar, the rain pours even more violently. In the midst of the downpour, he passionately pounds each raindrop into the air, as if demanding clarity and remembrance.

사람의 아들
-어느 목공의 기록
남진우

비만 내리면 그는 술을 마시다 말고 뛰쳐나와 허공에 망치를 휘두르며 외치는 것이다. 이번엔 끝장을 내겠어. 끝장을 내고 말겠다고. 다시는 네 놈 아들이 이 세상에 와 허튼짓을 하지 못하도록 완벽하게 못박아주겠다구. 멀리서 다가오는 천둥소리와 함께 비는 더욱 거세게 쏟아지고, 쏟아져 내리는 빗줄기 속에서 그는 똑똑히 보고 기억해두라는 듯 빗방울 하나하나를 맹렬하게 허공에 두드려 박기 시작하는 것이다.
