CURVED TWISTED BEING:
exhaust billowing from your mouth onto the floor
Quicker than Thought could catch,
Intake -

His breath into your lungs,
For he so Gave it unto You
And deigned play dangerousbravefearful
With your (in)side

Does he know?

Do you?

Dionysus and Apollo judge in silence.
No one knows who will claim this, yet.
Only -
statue, being, singing monstrous divinity-on-earth
You must exhume his breath from your lungs,
sometimes.

And lo,
The paint may chip
And you may speak
Again
