Hot Temper

Matters climb the chest wall Fingers clutch in sweaty palm In a bow forming a fist A burning disastrous fire Singes the heart hot Heat pains at a gradual space Slice through the veins opening Blaze the blood bank Expanded ribs express their prowess Flood of suspended tears Thaw the solid mucus Hidden within the nostrils' colony Irrigates parted lips In a rage tremble Shiver helplessly with saliva stains Red eyes welcome more red Under profusely sweaty furrows The fierceness of a lion The venom of a snake The hail of destruction.

Anger has its own choreography, and you provide us with a vivid picture of its stages. It may not be pleasant, but it is true. Greetings, David
