We make our best to evolve from
the local to the global by creating
a vital symbiosis of the two

בחשכה
,אחת שתיים שלוש ... שמונה האורך
-שני צעדים הוא רוחב הצלע
.החיים מרפרפים בסימן שאלה
.אחת, שתיים, שלוש... אולי עוד שבוע
.או סוף הירח ימצאני פה עדיין
.אך ממעל לראשי - האין
,בחודש יולי בת עשרים ושלוש אהיה
, במשחק נועז עלי מספר עמדתי
.הקוביה הוטלה. הפסדתי
בודפשט, 20.6.1944
Darkness
One, two, three...eight feet is the length,
Two strides across, the rest is dark...
Life is fleeting as a question mark.
One, two, three...maybe another week.
End of next month may still find me here,
Life and death are very near,
I could have been twenty three next July...
I gambled on what mattered most,
The dice cast. I lost.
Budapest, 20.6.1944
