Koré

As I was walking
I came upon
chance walking
the same road upon.
As I sat down
by chance to move
later
if and as I might

light the wood was,
light and green,
and what I saw
before I had not seen.

It was a lady
accompanied
by goat men
leading her.

Her hair held earth.
Her eyes were dark.
A double flute
made her move.

'Oh love,
where are you
leading
me now?'

Robert Creeley
