Like / letters. Letters / I send you personally / from there. Every tear / and her story. The main thing is / I am with you and it seems to me / I will not leave you anymore. / In fact, if we think for a moment, / We have never been / So much together … / You and me, alone. From another poem: “This boy, like many others, has gone when he is required to go, not on behalf of an order or certificate. / In his own way he went and his heart … / And he chose paths of dirt; Gray days of lead; / In sea-lanes and in the path of fire and flame. / In his youth he went, bloody days. / Went without return. He fell and did not get up. / It is not alone that he fell, because – together with his friends. / Some say that already that night – / all joined together as the galaxies / glamor of the ‘forty-eight boys’ and of the other times. And nothing more. And just add a PS. It is important, for public purposes, followed by a personal summary and comment / this boy / and his thousands of other companions / self-righteousness and uprightness / are the stages / history of a nation / and an important chapter / Hence, it is obvious that the dubious title ‘bereaved family’ / I absolutely reject. / To the best of my belief / Our son Haran / and all the others / contributed to the state / and especially to the people – / Haim! “
