Memory of L.M.

We understood everything. That the forces just end. And what about it ...
Anyway, a deafening emptiness.
This is also ahead: get used to the fact that there is no one to jump on the Arbat, when there is no chance that they suddenly dissolve.
This is also ahead: get used to the fact that there is no one to jump to Arbat, to just talk and thaw, when nothing itself is thawed inside.
This is also ahead: get used to that you can’t dial the number and hear the answer at the other end.
So far, there is just emptiness.
We argued and agreed or did not agree. We understood each other or refused to understand in order to understand again. And so, probably, everyone who was nearby. Or at least nearby.







All the merits, and victories, and defeats will be listed. We ourselves all ourselves are bitter, funny and joyful moments, words and smiles, hugs and tears.
But never ...

Lyudmila Mikhailovna, dear! Empty how!
