Dear Nobody,
At home there's a tap in the bathroom that won't switch off properly. It needs a new valve, that's all, Mum says. Sometimes you don't hear it at all, and sometimes it keeps you awake all night, drip, drip, drip, regular and slow and insistent.
And that's how I feel about you.
It's like hearing my own heartbeat and not being able to switch it off.
It's like footsteps in the dark.
I don't know whether you're there at all.
But the thought that you might be there is like a drip, drip, drip that won't go away, day and night, day and night now, regular and slow and insistent, like a beating pulse that won't lie still, like a clock that never stops ticking.
Pregnant, pregnant, what if I'm pregnant?
Tick tock tick tock tick...
I'm so frightened at night that I can hardly breathe.
I can't tell anyone. I can't tell Ruthlyn. I can't tell Mum.
You're only a shadow. You're only a whisper.
You're a tap, dripping night and day.
But I've told Chris, at last, at last. Perhaps that will make you go away.
Leave me alone.
I don't want you.
Go away. Please, please, go away.

A gaff is a stick with a point and hook at one end of it. It is also a spar on a sail boat. And it is English slang for the place in which one lives.
