NO TOMORROW

NO TOMORROW
--when a young heart wonders

              --after Yun Dongju

Tomorrow tomorrow is what they said
and I asked what tomorrow is
Sleep through a night until the sun
comes up at dawn and that's what we call tomorrow

So searching for a new day
I slept but when I woke
it was not tomorrow at all
it was just today

My comrades!
There is no tomorrow

--tr. Duane Vorhees
