The Carnival - Robert Creeley

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

Even so the attempt
makes for triumph, in
another man.

Likewise in love I
am not foolish or in-
competent. My method is not a

tenderness, but hope
defined.




from Selected Poems, Charles Scribner & Son's, 1976
