ON THE DEATH OF ELIE WIESEL

PALM TREES AT NIGHT

I wept when I prayed – because of something inside me that felt the need for tears.

Why did I pray? A strange question. Why did I live? Why did I breathe?
I believed I would be drawn into eternity, into that time where question and answer would become one.
