Becoming Not Being

How the rapier speaks to flesh
Is not unlike the serpents' tongue
Enlightenment of understanding
Through confrontation
I’m not using
My perspective as an excuse
I’m not using
My perspective as an excuse
Adversaries as gravity
And momentum step through apologies
For the right time to kill
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 as apparitions
I will move amongst you
As hopes and as dreams
Place the pillow
Over
Over your face
As hopes and dreams
Place the pillow
Over your face
I’m not using
My perspective as an excuse
I’m not using
My perspective as an excuse
