I blame WCW
Billy Collins credits one
of WCW’s small poems for
giving him the key
to write his own lines.
I blame WCW’s confines,
of loving women, as he
wrote to adore
them one
and all,
the young, the old,
the difficult to assess
ones, the odor of them
nude. What beauty means to them.
A Modigliani new laid breast. Fusses
they make with their hair, bold
up or hanging down over girlish all
that is perfect in women. His love
for them I inherited through his words.
