Words, Wide Night by Carol Ann Duffy

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.
