New York, 5 March 1937.

My little Eleni...
2:04:53
We arrived in America
with our hearts in our mouths...
2:04:56
after facing danger
a thousand times on the ocean.
2:05:00
At Ellis lsland,
they put us through a fine sieve...
2:05:02
Disinfections, humiliation...
2:05:05
Slowly, tortuously,
everything was done in darkness.
2:05:10
l woke up in a dirty room
that smelled of vomit.
2:05:14
Markos was snoring next to me.
This is America?
2:05:20
We began playing in some dive,
2:05:22
but dissension soon set in
among the band.
2:05:26
There is no progress on the papers
for you and the kids.
2:05:30
My aunt won't even hear of it.
2:05:33
l found an old ltalian teacher
to give me piano lessons...
2:05:36
to forget the ocean
that separates us...
2:05:40
Eleni!
