Grade - 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
