To Extinguish

How’d you kill it?
Was it with a brick
or a knife
or your hands?

How did it feel
to take the life
from something before you,
something that was fighting
however slightly
to live
while you were electing an opposing option
and winning?
What was it like
to extinguish?

Did you feel power?
Joy?
Elation
as you closed in on primal matters
and arrived somewhere near godhood
as you controlled life, death
and destiny all at once?

Was it good?
Was it bad?
How’d it go down?
How did you do the deed?
How did it die
– or was it a she?
