Becoming Not Being

How the rapier speaks to flesh

Is not unlike the serpents' tongue

Enlightenment of understanding

Through confrontationI'm not using

My perspective as an excuse

I'm not using

My perspective as an excuseAdversaries as gravity

And momentum step through apologies

For the right time to kill

For the right time to killAnd if concrete holds me below

I will marvel at the sun until I stop breathing

Decay and return as apparitions

I will move amongst youAs hopes and as dreams

Place the pillow

Over

Over your faceAs hopes and dreams

Place the pillow

Over your faceI'm not using

My perspective as an excuse

I'm not using

My perspective as an excuse
