A POEM BY

G.P. ELANGOVAN

Translated into English by Latha Ramakrishnan (*First Draft)

It is hours since I have landed

in this city.

The sky with drizzle and rain

With no significant change so remain.

In the roads with rainwater drained

the wagons are speeding past

Steadily.

In a junction where three streets

meet

I am waiting for a cup of Tea.

Due to your delay

The Tea began losing its heat

In the end

I, along with giving up the Tea

have also begun renouncing thee.
