Taking Place Poem by Rae Armantrout
Taking Place
Once we liked the conspicuous
but constrained,
the push-up bra
under the shirt-waist,
a small bow
at the throat,
the appearance
of a struggle
toward the diminutive,
the punctum.
•
The slender
second hand
jerking forward
as if helpless,
making its same sound.
•
We might stand
in a thicket
where a battle had
taken place
and be thrilled
by the far-off roar
of traffic
