RE-READING ROBERT CREELEY (THIRTY THINGS) ~

 





Laughing



Who enters this

kingdom. And

the people

formed in rock.





The Temper



The temper is fragile

as apparently it wants to be,

wind on the ocean, trees

moving in wind and rain.





No



No farther out

than in —

no nearer here

than there.





Here



Here is

where there

is.





Xmas Poem: Bolinas



All around

the snow

don't fall.


Come Christmas

we'll get high

and go find it.





Xmas



It commonly sings,

this Christmas.





But


      for Stan's birthday


if we go back to where

we never were we'll

be there [REPEAT] But





A



head of

the outside

inside.





A Loop



No

one

thing


anyone does





Still



Still the same

day?

Tomorrow.





One Day



One day after another —

perfect.

They all fit.
