Rigamortis

comet dust, I’m orbital, no satellite

my syntax bends gravity, verbs that fracture atlas’ spine

palindrome sins I rewind the crime, decode the shrine

eyes like Fibonacci, spiral out in gold ratios divine

marathon in my bones, but I sprint like a sprinters ghost,

pyrite prophets tried to scold now their fools golds my alchemists host

Rigamortis? Nah, rigor morris dance on tombs where the chorus froze

i splice light like edison, but the currents a psalm I wrote

 

Im the paradox on the pinnacle / icarus with a heat shield

they said "touch the sun," so I built a ladder from Achilles heel

Rigamortis cant stiffen what’s already steel

I autopsy the sky, leave my initials in the eclipses seal

 

checkmate the chessboard but my knights move in cursive arcs

pawns preach "sacrifice," but my queens a sphinx in the dark

Sisyphus swapped his boulder for a diamond, sparked

now the mountains a prism refracting hymns to the patriarchs

my lungs inhale nebulas, exhale a sonnets ash

every breath's a phoenix cipher resurrection in a flash

they dug my grave with spoons I repurposed the shovels for cash

buried the eulogy planted a throne where the daffodils clash

 

the hourglass vomits sand / I count each grain as a psalm

ambitions a hydra: cut one head it blooms two palms

the clocks a charlatan: I wear time like a loose fit balm

in the cathedral of chaos Im the graffiti on the calm

 

they called my pulse a myth 'til their EKGs sketched my name

i juggle black holes let event horizons clap for the flame

my shadows a fugitive / it flees when the spotlight aims

but even darkness curtsies when I whisper to the rain

libras scale tipped with comets my karmas a palindrome

for every thorn they planted I grew a rose from a chrome dome

the moon? just a steppingstone i cracked to build my catacomb

now the cosmos hums my anthem in a key they cant clone

 

Im the paradox on the pinnacle / icarus with a heat shield

they said "touch the sun," so I built a ladder from Achilles heel

Rigamortis cant stiffen what’s already steel

I autopsy the sky, leave my initials in the eclipses seal

 

the critics gnaw on echoes but my silence is a scalpels hymn

i rewrote my obituary / now it’s a birth certificate on a whim

the rats race in mazes: i taught the walls how to grin

turned their "no" into origami launched cranes from the garbage bin

my tears are quicksilver / toxic in cups but a cure in the blade

i barter with fates and trade my scars for a stockpile of shade

the masquerades a buffet / i ate the masks sous-vide

now my face is a mirror and the crowds afraid of their own parade

 

the hourglass vomits sand / I count each grain as a psalm

ambitions a hydra: cut one head it blooms two palms

the clocks a charlatan: I wear time like a loose fit balm

in the cathedral of chaos Im the graffiti on the calm

 

i parse the stars like morse code stitch constellations to my veins

my DNAs a crossword / solve me win a prize of endless plains

the nihilists chant "nothing": i hum everything in refrains

plant flags on their voids let my roots strangle the chains

the oracles a mute now / i spoke her tongue 'til it broke

baptized my doubts in kerosene lit ’em for a chimneys smoke

historys a ventriloquist: i cut the strings let the puppet choke

now the past is a marionette and Im the joke it can’t evoke

 

Im the paradox on the pinnacle / icarus with a heat shield

they said "touch the sun," so I built a ladder from Achilles heel

Rigamortis cant stiffen what’s already steel

I autopsy the sky, leave my initials in the eclipses seal

 

the finales a prelude / i reverse the credits and splice the reel

my epitaphs a sticky note: "Ascending / bring a meal"

they'll dissect these lines for eons find embryos of zeal

a fetus made of lightning in a womb of stainless keel

im not here to reign Im here to unfinish the game

turn the crown to a key throne to a door with no frame

rigamortis? Just a label for the fear they couldnt maim

im the verb that outlived grammar the noun that scorched its name

 

the zeniths a cul-de-sac / i paved roads in the skys back
