The Lovely Bones*
An adaptation for the late Barbara Lea—
Man's spirit will be flesh-bound, when found at best,
But úncúmberèd: meadow-dówn is nót distréssed
For a ráinbow fóoting it nor shé for her bónes rísen.
— After Gerard Manley Hopkins, Society of Jesus
* "And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it."

Love Ghost
Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story
is the title of an August 30, 2012, biography
of the late author David Foster Wallace.
(See a Guardian review.)
For example…
The Lovely Bones, Telemark, and Behind the Green Door.
“I have to break in my new suit
and limber up my muscles somehow,”
said Penny defensively. “One can’t
practice outdoors when there’s no snow.
Now watch this one, Mrs. Weems.
It’s called a telemark.”
