Disadoption (2008, Montreal)

to tell you, dad
what is my worry
you tell em my adoption
agency is not lying
by the surprising rumor

of two families I belong
by the common sense you order me
to cancel the adoption
it's your solution
to you, i was telling, daddy
mothers
fathers
will be?

Did You Know (2004, Seoul)

did
you
know
that

i had
to turn
my head
myheart

and my back
to forget
that my life
is to gain

balance between
my past and a
reason to live
a happy life

Mother Mood (1981, Brussels)

In one week
     You will be there
     Beside me
     Because you love me
I wait, hoping
     That with the passage of time
     Your delay will be a presence
     And then, again absence
A month later
     You will be there
     The promise of a mother
     For my birthday
The month has passed
      No one beside me
      A telegram accepted
      An apology repeated
For my holidays
      Spent without you
      For your silences
      Kept for me

For my anticipation
    And your neglect
    For your kindness
    I promise you
