Bill Lambdin

gone, like a sad old candle

                                          for robert creeley

feel sometimes like get-

ting drunk, after all 15

yrs of baffling old sob-

riety’s a long time

i’d perch my-

self on a bar-

stool & leer at

all the women,

sing irish songs

& proclaim my lit-

erary greatness to

all who wd list-

en ( in fact, now

that bob creel-

ey’s blood-

y dead, i’m the

greatest amer-

ican poet a-

live, alas) & then

fall off my

stool

blind willie’s blues

dog’s weather

gone, like a sad old candle

my misspent youth

shutting down
