Primo Levi Poems

You who live secure
In your warm houses
Who return at evening to find
Hot food and friendly faces:
...

In the brutal nights we used to dream
Dense violent dreams,
Dreamed with soul and body:
To return; to eat; to tell the story.
...

Dear friends, and here I say friends
the broad sense of the word:
Wife, sister, associates, relatives,
Schoolmates of both sexes,
...
