The Untranslatable
This is a series of poems of words that do not directly translate into English. I have tried to capture the essence of the word in a poem
Like a thunderclap
The electricity in the air
Links two circuits without resistance
To hasten the kinetic energy
Of a passing moment made living
Often without notice to the bystanders
Unaware of the circumstances
That mean so much to them,
Something defining their laws of attraction.
