girl number indefinite

girl number indefinite

whisper silence in my ear
cover me with salt warmth
touch me, oh touch me,
for the longing that lays
in shakespeare and in you,
hold me, though I try to resist,
I know there’s no point in that,
but I guess it’s just a banal reaction
a reaction I have to give,
to stop evil from happening,
to stop myself of giving up what I
fought for all summer and half an autumn,
do not even try to understand,
cause you will never understand,
the way I thought yesterday,
nor the way I think today,
or even the way I shall think tomorrow,
don’t bother with me,
but remember,
I ain’t just girl number indefinite.

maeve, november 14, 2005, for him.
