America - Robert Creeley

[Lawrence Robinson]

America 
 
America, you ode for reality! 
Give back the people you took. 

Let the sun shine again 
on the four corners of the world 

you thought of first but do not 
own, or keep like a convenience. 

People are your own word, you 
invented that locus and term. 

Here, you said and say, is 
where we are. Give back 

what we are, these people you made, 
us, and nowhere but you to be. 

	- Robert Creeley
