Remembering In My Parents Prime

Remembering in my Parents’ Prime ======================== Ah! This snowy still night, at bedtime; Reminds me of the picnic pictures, I as a boy would imagine, Dad and mom must have had a great time In icy Gulmarg. Raising her veil, slightly smiling and awfully shy, A classic Kashmiri countrywoman. He as a sixties-seventies Bollywood actor, Clean-shaven, twirled his mustaches, Dresses in a long woolen coat and tie. And I in her lap with a scowly face Seeing at the photographer, With my finger in my mouth And, belly half-naked.
