Britain's first woman poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, is out with a collection
-- /Mean Time/ -- in Norwegian. To mark the occasion, here's
___ Words, Wide Night ___
by Carol Ann Duffy
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.
Cheers,
