As I shake in anger,
my thumbs quiver
quicker than my quivering heart.
A rage, uncontainable, spilling over
Like a slow rising dough.
I can not tame it as it overflows.
Too much has been ‘understood’
and too little has been spared,
too little I’m left with-
courage, kindness and these
emotionally epicurean delights.
Rage engulfs the edges of my existence.
Burning me and curling me up
as I shrivel on the bed,
going up in flames.
My properties have been tested,
my limits clear to me.
One day objects and people
just crack- no curtailing my rage.
No turning back-
to kind place for me,
no place to ask for
any kind of a buffer.
Those who suffer, fucking know it-
that those who suffer, just suffer.
