I COULD TAKE, by HAYDEN CARRUTH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I could take Last Line: Imperfections that match Subject(s): Leaves | |||
I could take two leaves and give you one. Would that not be a kind of perfection? But I prefer one leaf torn to give you half showing (after these years, simply) love's complexity in an act, the tearing and the unique edges -- one leaf (one word) from the two imperfections that match.
