Jean Valentine reads from Dark Elderberry Branch: Poems of Marina Tsvetaeva

Vera Pavlova at Wellesley College

“Let us touch each other
while we still have hands,
palms, forearms, elbows . . .
Let us love each other for misery,
torture each other, torment,
disfigure, maim,
to remember better,
to part with less pain.”
― Vera Pavlova
