Mother was born in Kyongsong,
North Korea in 1924
She died in Himeji, Japan in 1998
I don’t know anything about her or
how she lived in this world
She had dresses, thousands of them
I put them on,
I painted them,
and gazed at her last smile
Then I set off on my imaginary journey
into four-dimensional space-time
besides windows with the coordinates of
A, B, C, ...
moving at the uniform velocity
of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity,
which I studied as a student
There, I watch my young mothers
cast mysterious gazes at me
