Contents:
Pt. 1: the birthpangs of a world
Send me some of the children's hair
Because she was my cousin
Take root there or nowhere
Aunts and uncles and swap-dog kin
Somebody knew my name
To see his grand son Samuel die
Taken from us by force
Pt. 2: deep as the rivers
Let not man put asunder
Like it was
