THE ROOM

                - W.S. Merwin

 

I think all this is somewhere in myself

The cold room unlit before dawn

Containing a stillness such as attends death

And from a corner the sounds of a small bird trying

from time to time to fly a few beats in the dark

You would say it was dying it is immortal
