| Notes | This poem expresses the poet-speaker's craving for a sense of identity and home, and states that it was promised to her by her lover, whom she directly addresses in the poem. Describing her intimate relationship with this lover, the last section of the poem is particularly telling: 'a billowing cloud of dust where a childhood home used to be'. |
