보릿고개

허기진 배를 움켜쥐고 넘어야 했던

높고도 험난한 생존(生存)의 고개

해마다 춘궁기 골짜기로 어김없이 부는

쓰라린 굶주림의 차가운 바람은

긴긴 봄날을 한없이 지치게 했다.

뻐꾹뻐꾹

더욱 배고프게 하는

뻐꾹새 울음소리조차

보리 고개 위에서 절규를 했다.

먹거리(草根木皮), 연명(延命)줄 찾아

산야를 누비던 수많은 백의(白衣)의 무리

그건 서러움이 뚝뚝 떨어지는

안타까운 연중행사였다.

누렇게 익어가는 풋보리로

성급하게 디딜방아에 빻아

구수한 향기로 벗어나던 기아선상(飢餓線上)

용케도 넘어온

절박(切迫)하고도 힘들었던 보리 고개

눈물겨운 고달픈 삶의 고개였다.

白衣 : 50~60년대 이전에는 남녀노소 거의 모두 하얀 옷을 입었다.

그래서 白衣民族이라 했다.

좋은 글 잘 보고 갑니다. 보릿고개 말만 들어도 배가 고파집니다.

우레비 

멋진 시 올려주셔서 넘 감사합니다.
잘 열심히 읽고 공부하겠습니다. 넘 감사합니다.

경사났네

해마다 춘궁기 골짜기로 어김없이 부는 쓰라린 굶주림의 차가운 바람은
긴긴 봄날을 한없이 지치게 했다.

``````봄날이 새싹들이 솟아서 좋은 계절이 아니라 배고픈 시대를 살아 오셨군요?~이야기로만 들었지요.''나무 껍질을 벗겨 먹기도 했다는 것, 다 한 시대의 생활상이라 생각되어 집니다. 아마도 현재 나이 70세 넘으신 분들이 겪은 애환이라 생각합니다.''저의 어릴적 기억은 보리 가시에 찔린 기억, 누렇게 익어가는 벌판~~밀이삭을 씹으면 껌처럼 된 기억? 한 시대의 시대상을 잘 읽고 갑니다.~

연지

가슴 찡한 글에 마음이 숙연해 지네요. 감사합니다.
