Below is an excerpt from "The Part Where I Fall Asleep," Chambers's poem in Volume 2:2.

          I like when it begins   the white
          icing of a dream   and the ones I only know
          with my eyes closed   glow like rubies
          brighter than   raspberries in July.

          [...]

          I like the bench   in your back garden
          and us on it   I like the heady loveliness of it all
