grandfather. Manuelzinho is where I swear she's taken over by a desire to murder. North Haven is where she has moved in with a man and has telling him what to do. O breath I believe she's having problems digesting meats. One Art is her argument with a lover with a little bit of I'm going to cheat on you. Poem, she obviously cheated on her partner. Questions of Travel is simply questions of travel. Rain Towards Morning is where she seems to have put on her devilish mask for revenge. Roosters, she's just revenge. Sandpiper, she's really starting to lose it. Seascape, mystical for the superstitious. Sestina, where she starts over again. Sleeping on the Ceiling, she moves on quickly.

Sonnet (1979) is her attempt at another mating call, I think she knew that. Squatter's Children is where she's thinking about having children. Strayed Crab is her description of her feeling homesick. The Armadillo, she's actually describing herself. The Bight, yes. The Burglar Of Babylon would be her conversation with an actual burglar before coming face to face with a burglar if ever to be faced with a burglar.
