the pyromaniac

this buildup of stress

this place of unrest inside

this eagerness to end the

frustration

this place of darkness residing

within

this hatred of all around

this want to relieve the

sexual craving---

animal

lust

take

control,

kerosene is so cheap

gasoline smells so

wonderful,

the match,

the rush

the burning line along the pavement,

the rising light---

all that started from

a burning candle,

that only thing left for

one alone

on their own

in a room

where no one cares &

never had

to begin with---

now revenge is whole

revenge is total

revenge is euphoric

revenge is sensual &

as the raging fire grows

the rising climax creeps

up,

the ecstatic nature of this complete

orgasm, unreachable by any other means

takes hold &

rocks the body into remedy,

but for one more moment,

taking away all those buildings of the world,

so simply done &

so

perfectly

satisfying---

as the pleasure begins to ebb,

to wash through,

s/he is

convinced that this was good enough for

now.
