Spring Hammer   *   Cheonhak Kwon Translated by Hana Kim and John Mokrynskyj   -at [Life in Quarantine] publisher:WIN 2020~2021  (Writers International Network)     Drawing-E. K. Dori With its fussing air of ominousness, it was not a typical spring. Even love had been forbidden! In the midst of the onrushing aura of spring, I stood separated by 6 feet, whatever the cost, and even shaking hands was forbidden, my steps confined within the front entranceway. My mouth gagged to prevent speech, I was forced to ponder past sins, washing my sinful hands over and over again.   I was at my wit’s end! Under house arrest at 58 Princeton Road, a warning was also issued to the flowers that are my family. They should know how to bloom and wither alone. The hammer of the spring of 2020, mercilessly pummelling.
