Clumps of vesi trees bob in bilge-water; The offal-green drapery of the sea Drapes the nothing of a louvred horizon. The ocean is my sponsor. I forgive it Everything – those years spent nursing ratoons Under sun’s and planter’s gong. Now it’s easy. I will answer to many sobriquets. Coolie is the most familiar. Tonight They play whist over their gins. And I wait. As always I wait, devouring such nouns As cricket and veranda. The trades blow Through wicker chairs. I tire of the turban, The looped cerements of my non-presence. Some day I will name myself in their script. --Grand Pacific Hotel, Sudesh Mishra
