On Arrival

(At Wellington Gymkhana Club, Coonoor)

 

The quietness of the hour,
deserved respect.
The seclusion was so complete,
I realized the loneliness:
within me.

 

Everywhere,
in sun and in shaded place,
many-flowered layouts,
pitilessly displayed:
the fatal rank of their impermanence!

 

The seclusion was so complete,
I felt the loneliness—
devouring me…
