soon to be contractor & contractee (a greed if poem)
âYou shouldnât jam us between your own selfishness. No matter what you harbour against Emilia.â
âYouâre misunderstanding me. Well, it doesnât matter how much I say, you wonât believe it⊠just like parallel lines.â
âItâs better to say that we never agree with each other, like parallel lines, even if itâs a conversation that we repeat a lot.â
There were things which could not be relinquished in his cooperative relationship with Echidna. The witch claimed to be Subaruâs accomplice, and by lending Subaru her wisdom as a contribution, she planned to use not only Subaruâs ăReturn by Deathă, but also his way of life. Although, thanks to her ingenuous side, those poisonous fangs did not reach him, and thus they were in a state of stalemate.

hello!! this is the written piece i made for the recent @engraverszine , surrounding the echidna /subaru / satella dynamic with each other and rbd :) itâs my most complicated work of poetry yet and i had a blast writing it!
alsoâthank you to the following people:
@thecolourpurple123 for giving me the premise of this poem and the idea for this unique format!! it was a very fulfilling challenge pfft
@eiese for helping the formatting along on the official last copy of this poem in this zine issue (screenshots of which are used here)
and @peachie5000 for illustrating an art piece to go along with this poem, which you can find here !! :D
and if you need a guide / would like an explanation for this poem, here it is under the cut vv
This poem is based on that exact excerpt from Greed If, included alongside this poem, and includes references to it (example: fangs), but I mainly focused on the idea of âparallel linesâ. A âstate of stalemateâ. Therefore this poem is split into two pages / parts:
Page one is written in the style of a contrapuntal, a poem with multiple segments written into it so it can be read in multiple ways. Poems within a poem, essentially.
Page two (+ the footnotes included in page one) are written like actual footnotes. Each footnote connects to certain words and phrases in page one. The footnote numbers past 0 are also written to finish the first sentence theyâre attached to (for example â6 Teen.â = âSixteenâ).
Overall, this entire two-page poem is written to be able to be read multiple times to gain more meaning from it. Here are all the ways I intended for this poem to be read:
Page oneâ
The left column by itself (âallowing you to read me / means stabbing the handkerchief into my throatâŠâ)
The right column by itself (âlicking your teacup clean / and dissecting their souls apartâŠâ)
From left to right across both columns (âallowing you to read me / licking your teacup cleanâŠâ)
Page twoâ
From top to bottom by itself (before or after page one)
Simultaneousâ
While reading page one, read page twoâs footnotes every time a footnote appears on page one, then return to page one until finished (ââŠto rid away rotting memory / Breathe out.â)
This poem can probably be read in other ways if you so wish but those are all the ways I made sure to write this poem in :3 Thank you for reading!!
I...I uploaded it to twitter and it took me awhile to realize I didn't upload it to tumblr... But here it is!!! The lore is completely made up by yours truly so don't take it too seriously!
