She Has the Music with Her

I show mother the photograph I have of her as a young girl. She was eight years old. The war was
over. She remembers the hospital, the bed she lay in. The leg they amputated. She learned to
smile in a new way.

Hun har musikken hos seg

Jeg viser mor fotografiet jeg har av henne som jentunge. Hun var åtte år. Krigen var over. Hun
husker sykehuset. Hun husker sengen hun lå i. Beinet de amputerte. Hun lærte å smile på en ny
måte.
