I cross my thighs, hold 'em tight
Wait for the kiss, yearn for a touch
destitute and wanting
Not to be wanted, not to be craved,
not just once, but twice and again
Shh! They say
Not the way a righteous wife should speak
Not the way a virtuous woman should act
But I stay muddled
Do I procure Cleopatra's prowess to
hold my love or Kamala Das's valor
to shred my cult?
