“Here’s the rain crashing down …” by Daniil Kharms

“Here’s the rain crashing down …” by Daniil Kharms 🇷🇺 (1905 – 1942)

Translated from the Russian by Robert Chandler

Here’s the rain crashing down,

time has stopped.

The clocks go on helplessly knocking.

Grow, grass, you don’t need time.

Speak, Holy Spirit, you don’t need words.
