Heroes and Villains: Day 7

ZOD

Damn these paladins
for making you doubt
you love strength. People
of Houston, your heroes
are like me: pioneer,
escaped and ready to take
what's owed. My running
mates are silence and family.
The prison of angles made us
certain. I come, strong-jawed,
to pull you from the flames
of logic, if only
your knees would bend.
