Summer   Rain

                                            Devesh   Todarwal   2017B4PS0518P

                                               Summer   rain   is   an   anomaly;

                                                   An   unflinching   sign
                                            That   something   is   terribly   wrong.

                                                  The   sky   is   diagnosed
                                              With   a   sore   purple-blue   bruise
                                                 And   then   it   splits   open.

                                               Unexpected   rain   is   beautiful,
                                                    I   try   to   tell   myself,

                                              Break   open   like   the   April   sky
                                           And   they   will   stand   by   the   window,

                                                 Be   a   year-long   monsoon
                                             And   the   windows   will   be   empty.
