Ire of the Hour

Sputtered words meant to bruise 
Passive aggressive 
Crowded and confused
Deadened ambivalence toward the seen 
Wishing to allude 
Collapsing the dream
Your questions
No suggestions 
When personalities crash 
In a flash 

Alone,
 I wash away the sting
Of my broken wing
I’m reminded of your other trait
No I don’t 
Want to debate
On a timeless ride 
Into the unrest night 
I shield my heart from anymore 
Discredit or smite 
Closing the door 
In silence
