"Like a frog in winter"
Daniela Padoan
You who live safe In your warm houses, You who find
returning in the evening, Hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is
a
man Who works in the mud
Who knows no peace Who fights for a
bread Who dies because of a yes or a no.
Consider if this is a woman, Without hair and
unnamed
no more strength to remember
eyes empty and her womb cold Like a frog in winter
.
.
forget that this is State:
Remember these words.
Engrave in your heart
When at home because,
bed, rising;
Repeat them to your children. Or have you undone
Home,
illness impede you, May your children
twist their faces from you.
