He had lost his right arm during the civil war <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the loss did not hinder him in the least <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he fought with left his arm <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His ghost arm remaining dormant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how I met him just after university <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was a naive English girl with a marble complexion <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas he was rugged with black wavy hair <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We could have not been more opposite <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Dmitri and I both enjoyed poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was the connection on which <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our friendship was built <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The written word <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And little else
