When all the women in the transport br had their heads shaved br four workmen with brooms made of birch twigs br swept up br and gathered up the hair br br Behind clean glass br the stiff hair lies br of those suffocated in gas chambers br there are pins and side combs br in this hair br br The hair is not shot through with light br is not parted by the breeze br is not touched by any hand br or rain or lips br br In huge chests br clouds of dry hair br of those suffocated br and a faded plait br a pigtail with a ribbon br pulled at school br by naughty boys.
