Dedication
For Marshall, Delphine, and Leo
Contents
Dedication
Part One: Love and Grief
I hope your first kiss went a little better than mine did
I sang in my chains like the sea
Truth
Funny grief
I dwell in possibility
Mad love
I measure every grief
At his touch, the scabs would fall away
Wild nights
Part Two: The Smartest Girl in America
47,500,000 ways to get to California when you have no money
If Marie Curie would do it, you should too
Reel life
Because my mother is about as likely to let us take the bus to California as she is to let us travel by donkey
Part Three: It feels so old a pain
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love
You can't keep weaving all day and undoing it all through the night
There is no music like this without real grief
We flee to the Cleve
Those who are dead are never gone
Love and other diseases
O Love, O fire
Part Four: Time does not bring relief
Real
To touch him again in this life
Landings
Help me to shatter this darkness
Part Five: A common language
Kissing in America
Cowboys on fire
Horses have loved before as I love now
Power
Let's rodeo!
Lies
Might I but moor tonight in thee
Patchwork America
Honey, he ain't calling
Part Six: One Art
The questions
Feast on your life
A good world
A good death
The art of losing
One peace
Worn down love
Trinkets
End of the line
Maps
Sleeping beauties
Stage 4
Light, love, life all tumbled
One Art
Part Seven: The Truth about Love
Reality
To live is to build a ship and a harbor at the same time
And to finish the harbor long after the ship has gone down
The harbor
Caesura
Part Eight: I Remember You
From the same source
Part Nine: Mad Love
Kaddish
To leap
