when everything's been said, can words suffice
can written symbols truly represent
can sentences, ambiguous, precise
translate the writer's actual intent
can brushstrokes capture a reluctant smile
a warm embrace or murderous designs
a monarch in his glory, all the while
reminding you to read between the lines
the artist and their medium, indeed
the spirits, on occasion, may provide
a séance doesn't struggle to succeed
so long as the provider knows who died
the truth is harsh, it slaps you in the face
a pencil in your hand, the words erase
