Malagueña
Death
enters, and leaves,
the tavern.
Black horses
and sinister people
travel the deep roads
of the guitar.
And there’s a smell of salt
and of female blood
in the fevered tuberoses
of the shore.
Death
enters and leaves,
and leaves and enters
the death
of the tavern.

Creeley references no such Lorca and Bly, but also Berrigan and Bob Dylan.

That's key!
"no such" should be "not just." I'm drunk, don't judge me.
