할머니 (GrandMother) - Poetry by Jessica Poulson

할머니 (GrandMother)

You say you are proud.

That I represent all of only your best qualities.

You speak to me from tomorrow (14 hours to be exact)

& I am still stuck in last night where I can only listen you see,

I can not speak my mother tongue

I’ve lost our culture

my son cannot even tell you that he loves you,

at most we can smile and nod our heads

we know only to bow respectfully now.
