서귀포 언덕 위 초가 한 채

                           귀퉁이 고방을 얻어

                           아고리와 발가락군은 아이들을 키우며 살았다

                           두 사람이 누우면 꽉 찰,

                           방보다는 차라리 관에 가까운 그  방에서

                           게와 조개를 잡아먹으며 살았다

                           아이들이 해변에서 묻혀 온 모래알이 버석거려도

                          밤이면 식구들의 살을 부드럽게 끌어안아

                          조개겁데기처럼 입을 다물던 방, 

                          게를 삶아 먹은 게 미안해 게를 그리는 아고라와

                          소라 껍데기를 그릇 삼아 상을 차리는 발가락군이

                          서로의 몸을 끌어안던 석회질의 방,

                          방이 너무 좁아서 그들은

                          하늘로 가는 사다리를 높이 가질 수 있었다

                          꿈속에서나 그림 속에서

                          아이들은 새를 타고 날아다니고

                          복숭아는 마치 하늘의 것처럼 탐스러웠다

                          총소리도 거기까지는 따라오지 못했다

                          섶섬이 보이는 이 마당에 서서

                          서러운 햇빛에 눈부셔한 날 많았더라도

                          은박지 속의 바다와 하늘,

                          게가 아이의 잠지를 물고

                          물고기는 아고리의 손에서 파닥거리던 바닷가,

                          그 행복조차 길지 못하리란 걸

                          아고리와 발가락군은 알지 못한 채 살았다

                          빈 조개껍대기에 세든 소라게처럼
