Postcard 3: Death Of The Violinist, Miklós Lorsi,



(Oct.,31,1944, near Abda, Hungary)

Shot in the back of the neck-the body rolling over,
already taut as violin string just when it snaps-
I, falling down beside him.

Patience and dread flowering into death.
"This is how it ends-
just be quiet now ".

Dark thick blood clotting in my ear smothering sound.
And somewhere above me,
"This one's still twitching! "
