impact is the man who---
even if his skull was
resting in your hands and
stripped, bare, pale
no skin
you'd see no [death]
maybe struggle but---
even with that skull
resting in your fingers
you'd feel like you could never conquer him.
the skull smiles at you perpetually
and the sockets still have the eyes in them
but the sockets do not have eyes in them.
