“it is assimilated into the subject’s hallucination”
he wrote another poem
to her
it meant nothing
to him
it meant everything
again
he wrote another poem
to her
not the poem of her
of love
but of his love or love
to her
she read the poem
as a poem
not a poem of love
to her
not a poem of love
from him
but a poem he wrote
of love
but not a poem to her
of his love
only a poem of love
not her
