Anger
Fists clench like rock-hard boulders
A linen shirt bunched at the shoulders
Blood boiling in a furious stew
As patience was lost, his eyes a'grew.
Angry shouting shortly followed
Frothing spit being swallowed
Jaws firmer than a policeman's baton
Why he was so angry, no one could fathom.
Infuriation was clear in his face
Emotions all over, without regularity or pace
Violent punching, slapping and kicks
As the woman fell, his brow lay thick.
But fury subsided, withering like neglected flowers
She lay still, dormant. He'd used up all his power
Reality kicked in-- this was all a big mistake!
Too bad the blood on her head was clearly not fake.
