I was allowed to be serious
the song she sang
was like a puzzle,
it hassled me...
...To have knowledge of her
central twist
that made her body
such a song, complex, wrong,
a mistake for me to hear
I stuffed
my blood into my ears
so I would not overhear
the long exposition
of her first theme
This me of me, this rapture
-- RK, The Beatrice from Kill the Messenger
