Chооse оne of the following poems to аnаlyze: THE BARE ARMS OF TREES by John Tаgliabue Sometimes when I see the bare arms of trees in the evening I think of men who have died without love, Of desolation and space between branch and branch. I think of immovable whiteness and lean coldness and fear And the terrible longing between people stretched apart as these branches And the cold space between. I think of the vastness and courage between this step and that step, Of the yearning and the fear of the meeting, of the terrible desire held apart. I think of the ocean of longing that moves between land and land And between people, the space and ocean. The bare arms of the trees are immovable, without the play of leaves, without the sound of wind; I think of the unseen love and the unknown thoughts that exist between tree and tree, As I pass these things in the evening, as I walk. "What Do Women Want" by Kim Addonizio I want a red dress. I want it flimsy and cheap, I want it too tight, I want to wear it until someone tears it off me. I want it sleeveless and backless, this dress, so no one has to guess what’s underneath. I want to walk down the street past Thrifty’s and the hardware store with all those keys glittering in the window, past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly, hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders. I want to walk like I’m the only woman on earth and I can have my pick. I want that red dress bad. I want it to confirm your worst fears about me, to show you how little I care about you or anything except what I want. When I find it, I’ll pull that garment from its hanger like I’m choosing a body to carry me into this world, through the birth-cries and the love-cries too, and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin, it’ll be the goddamned dress they bury me in.
