과학자들은 인간을 냉동시켜서
그 후 다 죽었지요.
humans could replace organs
인간의 장기를 대체해서
연장할 수 있다고 생각했고
is the only place people live.
인간이 사는 유일한 곳이지만
people come to die.
사람들이 죽음을 맞으러 오는 곳이에요.
보이기 시작했을 때
what everyone does,
하는대로 할 거라고 생각했어요.
and send her to Earth,
그녀를 지구로 돌려보내서

in our universe as a hologram --
그게 홀로그램으로 보이지요.

Navid loved most,
기쁨을 잃게 된거죠.
여전히 침대보를 만지며
in blue and violet blooms on the insides,
and further apart,
우리가 답을 찾지 못한
only because it ends.
삶이 의미가 있다면
they allow perfect freedom.
완전한 자유를 주지요.
here this morning.
폭우가 내렸어요.
who passed by what it felt like,
날씨가 어떠냐고 물었더니

but the space you give me.
이 공간에 이렇게 있어야겠네요.
