Photograph at the Lodhi Gardens
 

I have that snapshot in my album still – 

That pale blue sky, which doesn’t really tell

How hot it was and how you fell quite ill:

You held a book, and smiled hard to look well.
 

I wasn’t posing then, but now I find

This photograph shows more of me than of you:

My eyes drawn to the ruined tomb behind,

I shot you less in focus than we knew.
