나는 엄마에게 금이 좀 있냐고 물었다

나는 엄마에게, 가지고 있는 금이나 보석이 좀 있냐고 물었다. 엄마는, 그런 게 있겠냐고 했다. 잠시 후 엄마는 안방에 들어가더니 장롱 서랍에서 분홍색 복주머니를 들고 왔다. 내가 돌잡이 하던 날 들어온 금반지 뭉치였다.

이상했다. 이 금반지가 롯데월드에서 보았던 신밧드의 동굴 속 금은보화보다 더 붉게 반짝일 텐데, 난 이것들이 기억나지 않았다. 어린 시절 내 머릿속은 온통 신밧드의 보석뿐이었다. 난 어떤 방식으로 그 순간들을 포착했던 것일까.

I asked my mom whether she had some gold

I asked my mom whether she had some gold and jewels. Mom said how would there be such a thing. After a while, she brought a pink bag from the wardrobe in her room. It was a bundle of gold rings that I had received on my first birthday.

It was strange. This gold would be more reddish and glittery than the treasure that I saw in the cave of Sinbad at Lotte World. But I could not remember this gold. How did I capture those moments?
