For a moment, there's a flicker of hesitation
A breath of what-will-happen-if
No sooner do I exhale than I've done it
I've pulled the pin
Flipped the switch
Watching with excitement
Tail twitching
I wait for the flame to catch
A hot glow of fire
To illuminate the space
For just one second
Just once glimpse of
What was hidden in darkness
Everything will burn
Everyone will perish
But for one second
I'll see what it was like
Before fire ate what darkness hid.
