A Dampening of Rage

rage
blood red
simmering
boiling over
insecure imbeciles off gassing pain

a fraternity of inbred hound dogs 
renting shepherds
flocks are lost
horror
death

soul
lingers
ghostly lights
clarion calls
the atomic spin of celestial night 

loss of foul ego conjoined particles 
wonder free falls
I less bliss
haunting
rite
