THE WRONG ANGER |
---|
Not the rage at enlarged bellies or the struggle against missiles, not the fist at the Creator or disdain for all this luck but the sudden defence the portcullis of ego slid ready for blows when the work decays the effort's ignored the hard words come when the unfair dice condones fine fury the anger that sneers when the keep of self turns blind slits out undefeated and dead when the curtain walls turn inwards to guard their private hurt |
