HOW TO BUY THIS BOOK

Love
Until I found you,
I wrote verse, drew pictures,
And, went out with friends
For walks...

Now that I love you,
Curled like an old mongrel
My life lies, content,
In you....

Winter
It smelt of new rains and of tender
Shoots of plants- and its warmth was the warmth
Of earth groping for roots... even my
Soul, I thought, must send its roots somewhere
And, I loved his body without shame,
On winter evenings as cold winds
Chuckled against the white window-panes.
