Margarete and Solomon
She was my better
We met in Celan
I knew no better
I gave no notice
Burning souls
Took not I see
From under the earth
Shula was her name
Death winds blow
Shoah horrific self
Reflections of my youth
We will never know
Margarête?
Ashamed I am
My ash maiden
All about me
This poem is a tribute to Paul Celan's poem Death Fugue as translated by Michael Hamburger.
