Rather, Cohen's nimble, exacting lines are like guide ropes strung up the sides of an icy mountain: Her precision manages risk, and the risk leads to startling vistas. An entire relationship dynamic unfolds in the five monosyllables of 'Proximity' 'She died \/ Of my wounds.' In 'Ghosting, ' the ambiguity of departure--the way in which lives and loves sometimes cease without concluding--is captured in all its shades of gray: 'Any ghost will \/ tell you-- \/\/ the last thing \/ we mean \/\/ to do \/ is leave you.'
