Poems Written Out of William Carlos Williams 4
To Ruth
Now we stopped looking to be excused. You have said it. You who shrug the flesh, for all it's worth. Woman: stroked to a fine cross-hatched plan. The guts of it! to take each thread and loose it. I can take the grabbing vines and slapping branches. But this! I can take that too.
