Polycule is a song cycle in miniature. Its seven songs set seven aphoristic vignettes about polyamorous lifeBriggs. The cycle's title is a term often used in nonmonogamous circles; a portmanteau of "polyamory" and "molecule," it refers to a diagram of a group's various romantic interconnections. The second song is also named after a coinage from the community: your "metamour" is your partner's partner.
