LETTER FROM THE AFTERLIFE TO MY CHILD

My beloved child,

One day, the Armenian land slipped away from under my feet, shattered
by foolish hatred.

As I fell, with a cry, I held you tightly against my body to shelter
you from the unspeakable.

The heat was intense and I was worried about your health.

By God’s will, you pulled through.

For in the land of cross-stones and for the crime without a name,
you will need to look for a haven of peace in order to write our name.

Mayrig who loves you

Jean Eckian 2008

OUR DEAD HAVE NAMES
