Dekleva Milan:
Anaximander’s Count-down
Five senses for a single heart.
Four directions of the sky for a single earth.
Three dimensions for a single space.
Two creatures for a single child.
A single life for a single death.
No word for the infinity which links
the heart, the earth, space, the child, and death.
