Flashlight
Fear of what the light doesn’t touch.
Why do I find myself in a rush?
Look away,
focus on the gloom,
I need this delay,
trade weapons for tools.
Intention.
An important distinction.
One fools fail to mention.
Wield colorless tinctures.
Open to new customs,
I begin to try.
Breaking picket fences.
Deference leaves me fried.
