Senryu

Lock and Key
One of a human being's most insurmountable challenges is to trust someone. It can be difficult to blame people for the sentiment because broken trust is difficult to rebuild, or find. I speak from unfortunate, recent experience.

The view astounds As the word bounds from the top to the ground I find what was said to not be found My soul resonates sound

If I were stung by a bee
If I were stung by a bee, Would the uncertainty of the writhing bane of living finally subside the menace of who we are deemed to be?

Context?
inexcusable; decontextualization undeniable * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: The great Gerard DiLeo challenged me to write a 5.7.5 format senryu/haiku with just three words. This is my entry? I had two others to choose from too that I might publish at a later date. I have also done a few in the past...because...you know it's not hard enough lol.

This rumbling inside, hungry for a feast or fight, both demand action.
