She Didn’t Have a Name

Written by Sandor Halmosi

Translated from Hungarian by Elizabeth Csicsery-Rónay

Narrated by Bill Wolak

Hungary

No, no, she didn’t have a name

Women don’t have names

In dreams

They just come

They just look enigmatically

From the backroom

They patter

They descend from the attic

And pass with light steps

Before the door

Opening to the corridor
