I read, reread and took it all apart... looking up words I did not know or understand... baffled and wondering what its really all about!

Would you be willing to explain? Please...

a bit of Doestoevskian underground man, baptism

drunkard's magical pull on emotion, drag someone toward cataclysm instead of letting go, you can speak and perform but lips prove...

Thanks for reading, Bullitr

What an interesting poem! I too read it several times and it is a terrific read aloud. I always advocate the poet doing that and the reader as well. It is fun to hear how people incorporate devices into their work that is often missed when not read aloud. Good work, a solid five.
