REGRET BY- R. PARTHASARTHY
Evening, wet and depressing Dripped over the housetops: over The far-off hill, High spires for horns. And the unsuspecting arm of the seashore Held the lovers, loops of moonlight for eyes, who Drowned with each whisper the wave s roar- And the city lay entangled in the rain s net. This is my regret now: O how Readily I have forfeited the embarrassing gift innocence In my scramble to be man When Spring is no more The young season.
