Between The Spoken And Unspoken Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Between The Spoken And Unspoken

Rating: 5.0


A tanka Set for lesbian lovers


they cursed and burned
Anne Lister and Ann Walker
in effigy
XXX on her copy
of The Well of Loneliness

a thin layer of dust
on her bookshelf
The Diaries of Anne Lister
leans against Emma
in the pale moonlight


Note: Anne Lister's diaries lay hidden at Shibden hall and were only fully decoded 150 years later
