Subtext


What matters is subtext:
the matter is subtext.

- Read between the lines, you said,
read between the lines. Look up close and you'll see me.

After that I got letters printed black,
as if the meaning of desire could be found in character letters.

Subtext is sex,
the unspoken language of the body
that gives you away

As I bled,
your vocabulary poured out me,
and every resting emotion surfaced.

It was your story of love expressed in metaphors,
and I prefer it printed,
in fulltext.

like headlines: screaming in void
