POETRY | Careless Youth by Krishen Mohan

That I spoke in careless youth,
You pressed me,
Suffering no fools.

That I spoke in careless youth,
Too much I had been,
Foolish a brute.

That I spoke in careless youth,
This chasm I turned,
Blind my good eye,

That I spoke in careless youth,
No more, I deplore,
Ravenous for truth.
