[Of Poetics]
Robert Kelly
And it would be that way with the two of them
the whole winter
sometimes talking sometimes
he thought it was poems they were writing or she
was writing in him
from all that distance
spoken
out of the common snow that this year
had its way with the whole seaboard
there was no home
after all
of being different
they loved each other & were far
she was writing in him
& sometimes they came onto the paper
like snowmobile tracks found at morning
up their hill theirs no
longer & not even a memory
of some hard noise in the night
to show what but they knew full well what
had gone that way
that poetry
is as brutal as such machines
& leaves tracks on a less perishable surface
from which the person or personality of whoever was driving
has long ago been able to disappear
back in his private ranch-house.
