SPECIAL EFFECTS, by JAMES GALVIN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My shirts on the line Last Line: In your body Subject(s): Rain | |||
My shirts on the line (One sleeve has fondly blown Around its neighbor's shoulders) Look like drunks at a funeral. Raindrops open parachutes Shading off to snow. The back fence leans in And curves down like a breaking wave. Beyond it The slender lodgepole pines Stand to close together You couldn't walk through them In your body.
