Weapon Kill

Shadow slams the floor.
Light lances the door.
Yeahhh.
Yes,
I'm dangerous.
Weapon.
Dangerous.
Weapon.
Room rough.
Still KILL.
Pulse pounds.
Hands wide.
Tugging.
My choice.
KILL,
KILL.
Hit KILL.
KILL,
KILL.
Hard KILL.
Let go.
Not this time.
Red glare smears.
Black glass thrums.
Bass gut punches.
Teeth clench down.
Boots dig in.
Shoulders knot.
Blood warms up.
KILL holds.
One stare locks.
One step crowds.
Air gets thin.
Just us left.
Feel that drag.
Feel that flip.
Tooth splits tounge.
Old heat,
new KILL.
Thumbs unhook.
Fists unclench.
Eyes go dead.
Find my edge.
Kick snaps back.
Snare rips through.
World snaps open
Back in focus.
Let it rip.
Let it rip.
Feel that tug.
Keep both eyes.
Can still kill.
Not this time.
Dangerous.
Weapon.
Room rough.
Still KILL.
Pulse pounds.
Hands wide.
Tugging.
My choice.
KILL,
KILL.
Hit KILL.
KILL,
KILL.
Hard KILL.
Let go.
Not this time.
Not this time.
Can still kill.
Not this time.
Rope rubs wool.
Three men tied.
Wind won't whisper.
White sky stings.
One boot slips.
Whole line snaps.
Weight drops hard.
I haul him back.
Knees hit crust.
Grip burns raw.
Can't feel fingers.
Still won't loose.
That cold stayed.
Knows these hands.
Feels one tighten.
Pulls them back.
Now lights split.
Somebody stumbles.
Same arm shoots.
Catches wrist.
Set them straight.
Give them space.
Let them breathe.
Don't need thanks.
Snare rolls through.
They disappear.
Hand falls open.
Still right here.
What scares me most.
How right this feels
When doubt goes dull
And anger drives.
Straight path forward.
Nothing in sight.
Years of damage.
One sharp second.
Leave some room.
Let air move through.
Both hands shaking.
Both still mine.
Not this time.
Dangerous.
Weapon.
Room rough.
Still KILL.
Pulse pounds.
Hands wide.
Tugging.
My choice.
KILL,
KILL.
Hit KILL.
KILL,
KILL.
Hard KILL.
Let go.
Not this time.
Shadow slams the floor.
Hand against the door.
Cold air cuts.
KILL stays put.
Can still kill.
Not this time.
