When Robert Creeley
by Tracy Mitchell

When Robert Creeley
used the word
unprepossessing
eyes got wide, then
rolled back–what layers
of these peculiar

happenstantial
clusters
of images chatting

on white porches
sweet tea–
vintage gossip
splatting

on windshields
in single
file–

so clean
a nightcrawler
could
stand
vert-
ical
