What We Want

What we want 
is never simple.
We move among the things 
we thought we wanted: 
a face, a room, an open book 
and these things bear our names-
now they want us.
But what we want appears 
in dreams, wearing disguises.
We fall past, 
holding out our arms 
and in the morning 
our arms ache.
We don't remember the dream, 
but the dream remembers us. 
It is there all day 
as an animal is there 
under the table, 
as the stars 
are there even in full sun.

From Waiting For My Life
w.w.norton 1981.

'Why are your Poems so dark?' by Linda Pastan
'Why are your Poems so dark?' by Linda Pastan YouTube video by E.-H. N. (Atelier Vulpecula)

There is wretchedness in the world. And we yet persists not regardless, but in spite of it. The dark however isn't among its number. The dark is of nature, but evil is always artificially made.
