the hidden prose

fear leads
to wonder, to answers.

you become a detective.
you learn

the code,
passwords, you know where
to look

where to go
to uncover the madness

that darkens your soul.
your gut tells you all,

but the truth has not yet
set you free,
you need more.

you are light on
your feet,

savvy in the ways of others.
you read
body language, the long
stare,

the anxious pose. sherlock
holmes has
nothing on you.

you read between the lines,
listen to
the untrue words that unfold.

you find out everything you
need to know.

you find the fingerprints,
the gun, the knife,

a trail of blood,
the hidden

prose.
