The Embrace
The rage. In my face. In my body.
Holding it all.
Clenched jaw. Lips sealed.
The silent scream of death, of rage.
Do you hear me? …across the oceans, rivers mountains-across the continents?
Let me out. Let me out of this cage.
Peeling the rage away slowly. It’s tight. So tight. Slowly peeling it off. I can feel it wanting to come off. It’s sticky. It’s tight, let me out.
The tear fell.
One.
Then two.
Then, the face became a river.
So Long in this form- open, flowing, and rigid. Controlled.
We can make it to the other side. The water will carry us there. To the embrace.
