And I would do it again, but set down
This set down

Where bored officials lounged (one cracked a joke)
And sentries sweated for the day was hot:

Something is pushing them
To the side of their own lives.

The new poets still quoted
the old poets, but no one spoke
in verse
of the pregnant woman
drowned, with perhaps twins in her,
kicking at blank walls
even before birth.
(Ramanujan)
