�� Coming late, as always, �� I try to remember what I almost heard. �� The light avoids my eye. �� How many times have I heard the locks close �� And the lark take the keys �� And hang them in heaven. �� – W.S. Merwin, The Moving Target (1963) �� ON POETRY �� W. S. Merwin �� MY OTHER DARK �� Sometimes in the dark I ﬁnd myself in a place that I seem to have known in another time and I wonder whether it has changed through sunrises and sunsets that I never saw whether the things that I remember are still where I remember them would I know them even if my hand touched them in this present darkness would they know me and have they been waiting for me all this time in the dark.

��

CONFESSION Oh yes there was a stone lantern that I coveted when I ﬁrst saw it it was not in its ﬁrst life but already ancient and waiting in shadow and silence in a room full of dust on a round table piled with forgotten relics by the back road out of Aurillac longer ago than I remember now a stone lantern tall as a stool faces toward each of the four seasons unlit waiting for me
