Some Perverse Will

Carl Halling

I'm a restless man

I am never

Still

I'm always spurred on

By some perverse

Will

The grass is never

Green

No peace here

To find

Some demon

Of motion's

At work within my

Mind

No bed is too soft

That I won't

Abandon

Its sweet calm

And comfort

For a softer

One

I'm a restless man

I am never

Still

I'm always spurred on

By some perverse will.

  • Comment from author about the poem: "Some Perverse Will" dates from about 1980, and how much of it is reflective of my mind in that year I can't say; but I'm convinced I was at least partially straining for effect.
