to contain rage.
learning seems eternal.
scream flames taller than this house.
grow claws to tear down innocent bystander telephone poles.
uproot fire hydrants.
scream monuments into space.
bloody one's knuckles against asphalt
and ferociously lick it up until half the hand is gone.
bite down hard enough to shatter every tooth.
pull yards of hair up by the root.
fall into fetal position,
semi-circle of helplessness.
cry until the ducts stop working.
lap up one's own salt puddle with bared teeth.
a warning that this dog is not to be approached.
panting deep to warn the children away.
feel the rage consume the belly.
vomit the bile of 28 years.
ultimately, when the endorphins stop blasting
you will fall into yourself.
collapse.
