Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The speaker celebrates a new love. She has found someone who makes her feel special, and she thinks she and her partner may be soulmates. She wonders, however, how she can adapt to such a sweet kind of love when up to this point she has only known relationships filled with rage and pain. This relationship is totally different. Now she has found someone who can be an equal partner with her, without the need to dominate. She feels she is starting again. This time, she knows more of what she wants—a partnership that nourishes rather than diminishes her. She thinks they are compatible as lovers and that all of nature rejoices in their happiness.
Sometimes the emotional intensity of the new relationship is too much for the speaker, and she thinks that loving her must be difficult; she knows she has the ghosts of former pain still inside her. She loves her new lover’s sensitivity, but she is not so starry-eyed that she gets completely carried away by the relationship; she makes a checklist for whether he is truly what she wants in the long term. Everything appears positive, though; the couple feel such fullness together they are like two suns, and their relationship is like a conversation that never ends.
