Kore by Robert Creeley

 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.

"O love,
 where are you
leading
 me now?"
