TONIGHT I SIT, A TANKFUL OF FISH

                                                tonight i sit

                                                still as glass

                                                your face held

                                                between my hands

                                                it is still

                                                as cut glass

                                                it is still

                                                as crystal

                                                clear as a pool

                                                tonight your face

                                                is a round green mirror

                                                clear as bells in china

                                                clear as cut glass

                                                as clear to me as if

                                                you are here

                                                tonight it is still

                                                i sit on  the moon

                                                it is night here and i sit

                                                still as the moon

                                                still as glass

                                                tonight you are here and it is all

                                                ice and glass

                                                your face held

                                                in my hands

                                                my hands of cut glass

                                                in my cut glass bell

                                                and we lie on my bed

                                                round as the moon!
