Sam-cheung-jang 

Three story chest,
sam-cheung-jang,
goes to the coldest spot
of the an-bang.
Heavy cotton sheets
go to the bottom
Chi-ma juh-go-ri
to the middle
Ba-ji juh-go-ri
to the top
Washed and sorted
off season clothes
wrapped in bo-ja-gi
 go deep in this chest.
Arriving with the bride
wearing wavy wood grain
Dangling metal handles.
Now holding mom’s memories
 at its feet
in various boxes.
