Robert Creeley - A Form Of Women

Robert Creeley - A Form Of Women

I have come far enough br from where I was not before br to have seen the things br looking in at me from through the open door br br and have walked tonight br by myself br to see the moonlight br and see it as trees br br and shapes more fearful br because I feared br what I did not know br but have wanted to know. br br My facd is my own, I thought. br But you have seen it br turn into a thousand years. br I watched you cry. br br I could not touch you. br I wanted very much to br touch you br but could not. br br If it is dark br when this is given to you, br have care for its content br when the moon shines. br br My face is my own. br My hands are my own. br My mouth is my own br but I am not. br br Moon, moon, br whn you leave me alone br all the darkness is br an utter blackness, br br a pit of fear, br a stench, br hands unreasonable br never to touch. br br But I love you. br Do you love me. br What to say br when you see me.
