Becoming Not Being

                                  How the rapier speaks to flesh 

Is not unlike the serpents' tongue 

Enlightenment of understanding 

Through confrontation 

I'm using my perspective 

As an excuse 

Adversaries as gravity and momentum 

Step through apologies 

For the right time to kill 

And if concrete holds me below 

I will marvel at the sun 

Until I stop breathing 

Decay and return, and as apparitions 

I will move amongst you 

As hopes and dreams 

Place the pillow over your face
