the real lies bound

When it hurts so much, all you can do is laugh and play with words.
There is a beauty and an art to expression with few words. This is how I view poetry. You are an artist.
Wonderfully done.
Such fun word play with such a not-so-fun subject. Ah juxtaposition...
Only the incomparable Alessia Brio could have pulled off such a fun word play piece without it coming across as a collection of words trivialized.
I enjoyed the way you played with words, "knot, not, naught." The rhythm of the poem and play on words reflects the jumbled emotions one feels when one discovers a lie. Very clever, well done.
