बिटवीन बर्थस- Re : Memories -गौरी देशपांडे


You should find an old letter
evoking images of laughter and rain
Or a yellow diary
pressed violets in its leaves
In a book a photograph - vauge
Reminiscence of eighteen.
You should not be deprived
At one glance - jellybelly and bald -
Of a centre at your being
A stillness before sleep
And an awareness in dreams.
You should be left with a face at the window
A heartbreak, a farewell.


Otherwise there's nothing.
