You've said what you had to say
You've said something true for you
And that's worth a response

You've said what I needed to know
Which is
You could not ever have loved me

Not put so blunt, but with every inch of
That self focused friendly way you have
Of tearing me, quietly, to pieces

I have been tired for many years but 
You with your bright eyes you have
Exhausted me

I think I know now what Ginsburg meant.
I think I shall go carousing down empty streets till
Quieted, I curl once about the house, and go to sleep.
