괜찮아 (It's okay) is arguably my favorite poem from this part so i translated it in my notes app at 10pm and then goodread tells me its too long to post. urgh 🙄

tiny excerpt that lacks the impact of the whole poem:
i figured it out by passing thirty
when my inner you weeps
what to do
as if looking at a wailing child's face
at the tears like salty bubbles
it's okay.
not what's wrong
it's okay.
you're okay now.

Making progress :) 해부극장 2 [Anatomy Theater 2] is easily my favorite so far I think, though I did also really like 피 흐르는 눈 3 [Bleeding Eye 3] Might try to translate my favorite poem in my final review.
A little verse I liked from 저녁 잎사귀 [Evening Leaves]:
푸르스름한
어둠 속에 웅크리고 있었다
밤을 기다리고 있다고 생각했는데
찾아온 것은 아침이었다
[Crouched in the bluish dark / I thought I was waiting for the night / But what came to find me was the morning]
