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 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,
subtlety is best ...
