Becoming Not Being

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
