'The Lost Children of Korea' by Lauren Park (tribute to sewolho)
"A scaled down Titanic
Bleached whiteness
with its name neatly printed?
Sewol.
It means ‘the passing of time'
They told us
Time passed,"
she wrote in the poem.
"They lost contact, they told them
As politicians stood on shore with our families, taking sober photos, frowning, hugging.
We had a sense of lost contact: no slurping mother's kimchi soup from squat spoons;
no sibling squabblings, no poking, tickling;
no piano recitals at New Year parties,"
she wrote.
