Reflections on a Film at Auschwitz



      by Laura Nelson

      No, don't touch that child.
      The one in the film
      with the sad eyes
      She is close to my heart.
      She is so full of life
      even now
      though she doesn't understand
      Let go of that child
      She is the daughter
      I may someday have.
      She is my mother years ago.
      She is the picture
      on my dresser
      of my younger sister
      as a child.
      She is I.
