i can speak of anger
fluent in hard words
clenched jaw
balled up fist
tight-lipped mouth
that allows no human words
i can speak of anger
sudden blindness
urge to wrap your hands
around a throat
around the neck of a bat
and swing for the cheap seats
but instead
i will whisper to you
of forgiveness
that soft feather
brushing against your cheek
and beg for the same
——
Oh, well done!!
A whisper speaks so much louder that a shout; a gentle touch remembered so much longer than a punch..
🙂
Thank you!
You’ve captured it perfectly.
