The languages

I dreamed I learned Hindi
and talked to you
we were laughing together
at some joke
we’re walking slowly down the road
to the school where you studied
under the bright blue winter sky
under the hanging roots of banyan trees
across the red soil of Maharashtra

I dreamed I mastered Farsi
and spoke with you
you taught me a new prayer
you read me poems of the poet
you were named after

I dreamed I remembered English
and talked to you
about everything in the world
for so long that our conversation
began to seem like an eternity
a pure pleasure as it once had been
with a beginning but without an ending

I dreamed you came to me
we lived happily ever after
and I finally taught you
Russian
