Robert Creeley Poems

Seeing is believing.
Whatever was thought or said,

these persistent, inexorable deaths
...

I have come far enough
from where I was not before
to have seen the things

America, you ode for reality!
Give back the people you took.

Let the sun shine again
...

All night the sound had
come back again,
and again falls
this quite, persistent rain.

As I sd to my
friend, because I am
always talking,--John, I

Not just nothing,
Not there's no answer,

I approach with such
a careful tremor, always
I feel the finally foolish
...

You send me your poems,
I'll send you mine.

Things tend to awaken
...

The words are a beautiful music.
The words bounce like in water.

Water music,

Whereas the man who hits
the gong dis-
proves it, in all its
simplicity --

Looking to the sea, it is a line

It is the sky.

For love-I would
split open your head and put
a candle in
behind the eyes.
...

My love's manners in bed
are not to be discussed by me,
as mine by her
I would not credit comment upon gracefully.

The Best Poem Of Robert Creeley

The Mirror

Seeing is believing.
Whatever was thought or said,

these persistent, inexorable deaths
make faith as such absent,

our humanness a question,
a disgust for what we are.

Whatever the hope,
here it is lost.

Because we coveted our difference,
here is the cost.
