born from light
for Joe C.

the insidious judgment procured by feeble boxed minds
leaves me askew, dismayed
spiraled into disorientation
gasping, then choking on this same fury
a vindictiveness so godlike, so child-fueled
clawing and slashing
in perverted supplications
hoping to wound and gloat
and I concur: this venom is poison
good for nothing except the solipsistic fantasy of vengeance

but vengeance is His
and judgment is His
and I am His

frayed by this contention, but now restful
and recalling this truth:
the gloomiest of shadows is born from light
