Shhh

By Moon In-soo

I have been to his father’s funeral.

He told me a story: he, who had passed his sixtieth year, held his father,
beyond 90 and helped him urinate. Even though life’s important controls
had left the old body, his mind was still like a lantern. Afraid that the old
man might feel hopeless, he helped him, half joking and half playing the
baby, saying “Father, shhh, shhh, all right, all, right, you must feel good.”

When he held his father, it was as if he entered deep into the whole body.
When he held his father like that as though giving back to the body, how
much might the old man have tried to shrink himself to make himself
smaller and lighter? His urine thread cut off frequently, but such a long
thread that the son again and again tried to tie it down to the earth
pitifully, but the father with difficulty might sever it now. Shhh,

Shhh! The universe must be quiet.
