Art can communicate what ordinary conversation makes awkward.

There are things you cannot say to someone across a table without both of you flinching, and a book or a song can carry them easily. The indirection makes them bearable, and something that would have been unsayable gets said and received.

Use that when a conversation is too hard to have head-on. Send the thing that says it for you and talk about it afterward. It is not evasion; it is choosing a route the difficult truth can actually survive.
