Photograph of My Auchwitz Grandmother
                        Ninety--
                         gnarled and creased
                         she smiles with glinting eyes--
                         enduring like a spring lilly--
                         blooming.

Ninety--
gnarled and creased
she smiles with glinting eyes
that survived horrid hardship depths--
silence--

                 Ninety--
                 gnarled and creased
                 she smiles with glinting eyes
                 that survived horrors of holocaust--
                 silence--
