The Great Becoming (Redux)
right here, along the cable
Too much remains erratic
or, better yet, unstable
yet I gave you the strings
the ones you used to pull me
bound on your broken wings
Limbs bleeding, bruised, affrayed
I stare out to the future
to history yet unmade
or what the slaves call "tongues"
to keep the lice from feasting
on kardia’s congealed crumbs?
drain out my tender side
lest I be snared by sirens
and dragged beneath the tides?
A death of what once was
Rechristen myself Devil
to slay a thousand Gods
to starve the fear inside
Cremate the Superego
Sublime tyrannicide!
A stronger strain of being
to scar this world constricted
where slavery is the mean
much more than I myself?
You knew only the miser
denying hidden wealth
who choked on your sweet words
He lives now, reincarnate
beyond the reach of herds
