Wrath

Between abusers and abused, how

am I to remain unmoved to mighty

anger, poised as I am, as we all are,

in a membrane around our wheeling house.

Which situation lends me a syzygy:

locus, even focus, between earth's core

and our sun Sol -- both fearsome heat sources.

It's my heart feeling those tides -- my tiny

engine -- enflamed as it stretches -- cooked o'er

fevers it cannot fathom nor ignore:

torture.

  1. Being moved to "mighty anger" becomes "torture." I can understand that, I think. Which word do you think I had to look up? (smiles). I really like the DISTANCES here... they are vast. I mean, you can only see your heart as a "tiny engine" when you have that perspective. (Macoff)
