(Gueto de Varsovia, 1941 - )
durante la guerra
los alemanes eran conocidos
por levantar a los niños
de los pies
revolearlos por el aire
y estrellar sus cabezas
contra las paredes de yeso
de alguna manera
me logré
escapar de ese destino.

during war
germans were known
to pick up infants
by their feet
swing them through the air
and smash their heads
against plaster walls
somehow
i managed
to escape that fate.
