Anger
When I walk a dark alley
swallowing my anger,
there was no flower of the season
that may soothe my ill-will
or flow of time that would carry my animosity away,
except uncontrollable wrath within me.
Shoulders that carry anger were broken down
from a weight of another tomb stone,
the dark cloud hanging on my head
coming with closed eyes
roams to a horizon in a wilderness
to find a victim for a blood offering.
When I was hesitating to step forward
from fear,
thinking,
if my whole body
filled with the tattoo of anger
such as this,
[it’s strange]
someone sobbing under my feet.
