Wait
Wait
Where is the anger now?
which flowercloudwater holds it?
which animal embodies anger?
where is the taste of copper?
tempered steel muscles await movement
fluidly fast instincts developed to ...
kill
await ... what?Where is the fear now?
which cornercrevaceshadow gathers it?
which neurons foster fear?
where is the taste of sulfur?
adrenaline freeway inner elbows/ back of knees
focused eyes, keen ears sharpen every sight/sound for...
what?the past
gone but never left us
honed to strike and left to wither
and
die
