Question?

 

What is the word for heartbeat in Russian? 

I can not think of many people to ask and I lost

touch with Louisa who was diligent at A’level.


If I ask you will you think there is another meaning,

after all when the heart is mentioned, it is mostly

love or medicine at stake.


We haven’t got enough words for rain either,

but that Dranovsky kid told me  ‘It can’t rain all the time…

Stolen American song lyrics. But it works.


I don’t think about that rain now.

If it doesn’t rain, it is dry

if the heartbeat stops…


I must try to remember how it was

without words, waiting

in the dark wings of my mouth.
