A F<\/strong>ormidable Occurrence<\/strong><\/p>\n

A couple of stops from the Mainz Station is the modest Bischofsheim Station
\nAnd about a ten minute walk away is a bed and breakfast
\nRun by an old Korean woman who came to work here as a nurse forty years ago
\nAnd met her husband while working at the hospital, a German named Hoffman
\nThe names of her three daughters are Maia, Patrizia, and Sara
\nMaia bore a son called Philipp and a daughter called Charlotte
\nPatrizia bore sons called Niklas, Jonah, and Elia
\nSara bore a son called Maximilian
\nAnd inside Sara is another child?
\nKorean words the grandchildren know consist of grandma, dumpling, dried laver, kimbap, and japchae<\/p>\n

Inside the guest room is a celadon teapot and a white porcelain vase
\nAnd in the white porcelain vase are five phalaenopsis orchids in peak bloom
\nIn the kitchen is a calendar sent from Korea marked with lunar dates
\nAnd circles around the anniversaries of her father and mother\u2019s passing, and Lunar New Year and Thanksgiving written in red
\nGround cherries, peonies, dandelions, and chives fill the garden
\nAnd a hibiscus tree she acquired from the Korean Community Organization
\nGround cherry, peony, dandelion, chive, and hibiscus \u2013 called so only by the old woman
\nGround cherry, peony, dandelion, chive, and hibiscus \u2013 when she\u2019s gone there will be no one left to call them so
\nConfirming that a person aging is a formidable case of a language and a world fading away<\/p>\n
