The second in the magnificent Throwing Muses trilogy.
My guess (and I could be ridiculously wrong) is that she is in love "with one boy" and living with someone "in one house" who is jealous (hence the green eyes ). He thinks she has other lovers, but
I got no more
Who are you for?
I got no more
What is this?
And this is making them both a little crazy.
There are mentions of the greater heavens
Temper and tempest
To knock at the moon
And the stars come out at night
almost indicating that this jealousy is an eternal force, an endless cycle.
In the last verse, there are some beautiful lines
I love your face like God
So you're in love and I'm indebted always
Green eyes
And now you're leaving again
that seem to evoke the elemental power, beauty and frustration of romantic and jealous love.
