Meeting poets

Eunice de Souza · India (1940)

Meeting poets I am disconcerted sometimes by the colour of their socks the suspicion of a wig the wasp in the voice and an air, sometimes, of dankness.

Best to meet them in poems:
cool speckles shells
in which one hears
a sad but distant sea.

Eunice de Souza,
India (1940)
From: “The Oxford India Anthology, 12 modern Indian poets”
