      Holocaust Poem: Day After Day by Roni Kadish


      Day After Day
      by
      Roni Kadish
      Moshav Neve Yarak

      Dedicated to my daughter-in-law's mother, a survivor of Auschwitz and slave laborer.

      When winds gale,
      Freeze eyes shut,
      I think of her
      Driven on icy feet in a weaving line
      Over bodies buried in mud.

      I shudder at her memories-
      Stories of furnaces,
      Beatings,
      Tears that dried before they fell.

      See scattered bones,
      Her hands outstretched for crusts of bread.
      I'm with her
      When hearts stop beating,
      And flames devour souls.

      My mother's cries follow me day after day.
