Do you love me,
   Sister mine?
Do you care for me as I for you,
   Oh mistress of my soul?

I’m terrified of your rejection,
more so of any lover.
   Command me!
Don’t leave me here to suffer without you.

And yet I am terrified to share,
   to touch.
Foolish child that I am,
my shame is everlasting.
Forgive me!
   Sister-mine, mistress of my soul,
forgive me….

To Kitty
