THE ONE SONG
I prefer to sit all day
like a sack in a chair
and to lie all night
like a stone in my bed.
When food comes
I open my mouth.
When sleep comes
I close my eyes.
My body sings
only one song;
the wind turns
gray in my arms.
Flowers bloom.
Flowers die.
More is less.
I long for more.
-Mark Strand
