Sacred & Mundane

Evaporate

Drop by drop

Sinking inch by inch

Feel the ebb and flow

As momentum slows

Accumulate

One by one

Changing bit by bit

Ivory tower test

Entertains the guest

Hidden in the space between the words

Another dialect to learn

An ounce prevents a pound of cure

Sacred and mundane

Articulate

Word by word

Standing face to face

Bridges burning still

In a test of wills

Manipulate

Step by step

Twisting day by day

Addicted to the fight

Words as sharp as knives

I see blue washing into orange and red

Fanning sparks to flame

Details multiply

Never twice the same

Assimilate

Choice by choice

Shrinking lie by lie

False identity

Keeping you from me
