I Do Not Know Myself
Hugh Seidman
I go to dark and am of dark
Ignorant of myself
I sleep and dream--
But not enlightened
Nor when I wake
And remember dream
All I have not seen
All I will not see again
That I will take to ignorant dark
Desire is unchanged
Year on year it is on
Each page to turn
Each face to love
If I loved
Till the end of the world
It would never be done
Once I was a son
Once I had all the time in the world
Now a day starts
Now it ends
Now a window is dark
