'A Place' by Robert Creeley

The wetness of that street, the light
the way the clouds were heavy is
not description. But in the memory I fear

the distortion. I do not feel
what it was I was feeling. I am im-
patient to begin again, open

whatever door it was, find the weather
is out there, grey, the rain then and
now falling from the sky to the wet ground.

is is that

the vision
of everything
as a system of
correspondences

& the vision of
language as
a double of
everything

light

went into without,
came back full of it

the strings in tides

pulling, releasing,
and growing each

time

alone in that line
time stands there

sentimentally
reverentially

back then it stood

and the drunk man

stands, wavering

old, needing

a light
