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”
