ONE NIGHT (poemoff2)

March 22nd, 2007 by Zack

ONE NIGHT

with every night the shallow dark

flows in, first dull red, then grey.

i think my sleep long ago pushed

his reed boat off that warm shore,

and somewhere out of sight of the

land of day capsized, but sleep would

not die, but lay in the colorless sand

at the bottom of the ocean where the

cold never sleeps and the sand never

stirs.

notes: the title of the poem comes from tiffany’s “desire has a way of coming back”
