Fuck It

Fast prayer. 

Just two words. 

Eyes wide open.
Candle unnecessary.

Simple, yet superior.
Release never felt this good.

Know what you know. 
Mean what you mean.

No room for gooey in the middle.
Unsuspecting saint.

He controls as much as he can.
But not everything.

Come what may.
What-the-hell faith.

Never prayed this hard.
And meant it.

Serious, hushed read by R.A.D. ... as if he's in church ...

Spark

Stun innocent bystanders,
wreak havoc with satisfying crunch ―
roar of slender flame
leaves eyes smarting for more.

Your sharpshooter precision
flashes approaching silver ―
ball of your thumb rough
with years of routine.

Break harbor before dawn,
light the sunken road with felicity ―
toss down your weapon of choice
to practice power in reserve.

Embrace doubled-up dark
the someone who waits ―
hand-to-hand struggle,
no reluctance to surrender.
