from DAWN

Child waking up in a dark room   

 

screaming I want my duck back, I want my duck back   

 

in a language nobody understands in the least

 

There is no duck.

 

But the dog, all upholstered in white plush

the dog is right there in the crib next to him.

 

Years and yearsthat’s how much time passes.   

All in a dream. But the duck

no one knows what happened to that.

 

LOUISE GLUCK
