Mezei András: Keepsakes (Apa ajándéka in English)

Portre of Mezei András

Apa ajándéka (Hungarian)

Apa azért zavart szét bennünket,
hogy “ne lássuk egymást szenvedni”.
Igy kerültünk más-más táborba:
anya, Manci növérem, öcsém Lajoska
külön-külön küldenek üres filmszalagokat
halálaikról, áldassék érte apa.

Keepsakes (English)

I praise my father’s compass. He chose to disperse us
to “save us the pain” of witnessing each other’s fate.
That’s how I’ve come to treasure forever these gifts
from my late mother and sister and baby brother:
empty reels,
their keepsakes from different camps.
