Words, Wide Night
Somewhere on the other side of this wide night
and the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
The room is turning slowly away from the moon.
This is pleasurable.Or shall I cross that out and say
it is sad?In one of the tenses I singing
an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.
La lala la.See?I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross
to reach you.For I am in love with you
and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.
Carol Ann Duffy
