		<description><![CDATA[In the street
 &#8211; S Manjunath

Rain began to lash out midway;
granny covered the infant in her arms
with the folds of her sari
I can&#8217;t hasten
to shelter them under my umbrella &#8211; yet
I can&#8217;t keep on under it unruffled.
I hurry
as if to cross the distance
between us;
an unknown twinge &#8211; as if piercing the heart
from the umbrella&#8217;s handle.
