Time Machine
It was an exhausting day.
I’d hardly slept the night before and
it was the day I taught the most.
I’d lectured unusually loudly, straining 카지노 게임 사이트 voice
so, whilst talking with 카지노 게임 사이트 wife during dinner at home
I finally lost 카지노 게임 사이트 voice.
During the eleven to one o’clock
Undergraduate lecture break time
I’d somehow wanted to call 카지노 게임 사이트 father.
I’d also wanted to call 카지노 게임 사이트 mother.
However, I had not.
I arrived home and had a late dinner
sat with my wife on the sofa and was watching an old film called Time Machine
when I got the call.
I drove quickly
towards Daejeon.
카지노 게임 사이트 mother, sister and brother who had arrived before us
were holding 카지노 게임 사이트 father’s body and wailing.
카지노 게임 사이트 father wearing a serene expression was looking up at the ceiling.
Whilst alive he’d appeared blackish red
but now his whole body appeared to be bathed in white light.
I touched 카지노 게임 사이트 father’s once robust now thin thighs and
unchanged sturdy hands
Warmth still remained
It was as if at any moment he would see me, rise and greet me with a smile.
카지노 게임 사이트 eldest son’s here!
However
카지노 게임 사이트 father no longer
Looked at me, 카지노 게임 사이트 family
Only looked at the ceiling with a serene face.
카지노 게임 사이트 father had passed away.
During the funeral
In a dream like daze
I listened carefully to 카지노 게임 사이트 mother.
Children don’t know,
Children don’t know,
How parents feel.
You forgive once,
If that doesn’t work,
You forgive twice,
If that doesn’t work,
You forgive three times.
If that still doesn’t work
You forget that there’s anything to forgive
Children don’t know how parents feel
They don’t know,
카지노 게임 사이트 mother said to her children, to me
Her nose running.
Like a fool
I realised then.
How 카지노 게임 사이트 father had forgiven me countless times.
I realised then.
How I must have caused him pain.
I realised then.
How I could no longer talk with him.
I told 카지노 게임 사이트 students who came to the funeral.
Be good to your parents when they are alive.
You cannot do anything when they pass away.
Mercifully
I believe 카지노 게임 사이트 father has gone to heaven.
A few days after the funeral
As if nothing had happened
My wife and I watched the film Time Machine again.
From the part we’d hurriedly left off when we received the phone call.
The phone did not ring again.
Everything was the same.
Except 카지노 게임 사이트 father no longer exists in this world.
