anger and terror
Feb 15, 2015

anger mounts
climbing a terrible
mountain to yell
impotently from the top
the red at the back
of the neck
the flush of the
face and the flaring
nostrils breathing in
violent bursts of breath
flashing back out
as the nails dig in
leaving marks
in the palms
terror of the
flash and the flame
the sudden burn
no reason no spark
sudden fire rising
up spiral flames encircling
the torso
leaving only blackened
bones and cracked
glassine porcelaine
bursting forth
and ripping through any
obstacle.
