Animus
I’ve been scooped out,
hollowed out.
There’s nothing left of feeling
except the emotions that
Tear me apart,
Scrape clean my gut;
anger
indignation
ragefury.
They’ve lit me on fire
from the inside out,
burned me up.
I’m ire animated,
anger walking.
I’m afraid that if
anger’s passion didn’t
Give me bones,
I’d have nothing left
To walk around inside my skin.
