Sympathetic Portrait Of A Child

by William Carlos (WCW) Williams
 The murderer's little daughter 
who is barely ten years old 
jerks her shoulders 
right and left 
so as to catch a glimpse of me 
without turning round. 
Her skinny little arms

to deepen the shadow— 
smiling excitedly!...Read more of this...
