	The Charm by Robert Creeley My children are, to me, what is uncommon: they are dumb and speak with signs. Their hands are nervous, and fit more for hysteria, than goodwill or long winterside conversation. Where fire is, they are quieter and sit, comforted. They were born by their mother in hopelessness. But in them I had been, at first, tongue. If they speak, I have myself, and love them. From Selected Poems, 1945-2005 by Robert Creeley. Copyright © 2008 by Robert Creeley.
