VI.
provoking aggression
the face of a dead horse
an epinephrine induced sword
fear Crucial to survival
The dragon held gold
it means nothing
Indignation covers the battered
Distain, immaterial, paralyzed, jilted
Keep your tongue steady
and mouth closed
Breath filled with guilt has no place here
It’s a symptom of not being heard
Direct the sound elsewhere
There is no guilt in this au courant affection
Absent and still you turn to dust
Brother do you see the pacific unstirring?
