Helen

Majid Naficy

        In Memory of Holocaust Victims

Some times I see Helen
Passing by
Wearing a long skirt.
She pushes a metal walker
Scraping against the ground.

She always asks:
"Sir!
What day is today?
What day is today?"
I say: "Jeudi"
And sometimes: "Donnerstag"
Because I know
Helen had fled Germany
And married in Paris.

She passes by me
Like a heavy train of victims
And I hear their voices
Out of the reach of time.

        February 16, 1997
