Seething

Fury is not hot

Pedaling my arms steadily

I aim for the depths

The soft blue glow at the surface yields

To a muggy gel the gentle rays dare not disturb

An ocean? No.

It is a limited cosmos

A finite void

Fury is not hot

No engrossing fire or lava overcomes you

It is a hopeless dungeon

Emptiness guards your cell

Forgiveness facilitates each futile escape

Desolation is your sentence

That eternal pit in your stomach is as real

As the mental coup overthrowing your rationality.

About the Creator

Diane Guy

Irish meadows captivate me. Mutterings of my urban home deafen me. Bitterness of joy and sweetness of vengeance consume me.
