Anger Fades

Dry, breathless rage
Clamors upward
In heated strain
Through these veins--
Red-winged thoughts
Simmer on my temples
And throw themselves
In violent circles
Within my soul...

And then the ruby edges
Soften into pink
As anger fades--
A cooling catacomb remains
Housing whispers
Of wishfully forgotten memory
Within it's crevices--
Until the hauntings
Of the past
--Rage--
Once more.
