subtlety is best

 

subtlety is best,


unlike a slap in the face,

insomnia,

ammonia,



not the open legs of obvious,

the deep throat of unremitting loud,

babble,

unlike fools

subtlety is best.


mystery, yes,

no, not impatience!

fuck ill tempered cats

and those with all the answers

to unimportant questions,



give me the music in the spaces between sounds,

the swoon of skin's perfume



yes,

o yes,


subtlety is best
