I know this body is impatient.
I know I constitute only a meager voice and mind.
Yet I loved, I love.
I want no sentimentality.
I want no more than home."

ENOUGH

One
by one
the form

comes. One
thing follows
another. One

and one,
and one. Make
a picture

for the world
to be. It
will be.

“And all our nights be one, love,
For all we knew.”

a snapshot of a poem by robert creeley called The Flower: I think I grow tensions like flowers in a wood where nobody goes. Each wound is perfect encloses itself in a tiny imperceptible blossom, making pain. Pain is a flower like that one, like this one, like that one, like this one.

PRAYER TO HERMES

#Hermes, god
of crossed sticks,
crossed existences,
protect these feet

I offer. Imagination
is the wonder
of the real, and I am
sore afflicted with

the devil's doubles,
the two's, of this
half-life,
this twilight.

#RobertCreeley “The Langauge”

“… then what
is emptiness
for. To

fill, fill.
I heard words
and words full
of holes
aching. Speech
is a mouth.”

Poem entitled Elements from "Echoes," by Robert Creeley, printed in The Toothpaste Press (only 2,000 copies), 1982. #poetry #RobertCreeley
