WE REMEMBER GHETTO WARSAW!

Halina Birenbaum

Sounds
of a
guilty
silence

in Stutthof

Six fifteen. Stutthof

I am speechless

I am unable to say anything

everything I say or write

is a cliche'

artificial

gray and wet all around

after rain

tears in my throat on my cheeks

there is no prayer

I just exist

with this power of death

exterminated

this death is in me

my life expressions in it

those are precisely the tears

- can tears be also a prayer?
