Protocols - Vikram Seth
What can I say to you? How can I retract
All that that fool, my voice, has spoken_
Now that the facts are plain, the placid surface cracked,
The protocols of friendship broken?
I cannot walk by day as now I walk at dawn Past the still house where you lie sleeping. May the sun burn these footprints on the lawn And hold you in its warmth and keeping.
Big Book Of Poetry
