Arrogance

Flaunting a brand
Succinctly,
holding the horizon between his teeth
he was not taking a bite.

Nobody can open the vault
under the gaze
of black cobras
extending the crumple zone.

Sweet revenge,
he was stepping out of the bright skin
in deep shadows. 
A grey sky was going to melt.

Pouring out the innocence 
which was not so subtle between the words.
Something falls out from your lips
beyond a reasonable sound.
