The Flood
October 11, 1991

find myself awash with anger
fear what I might do
strike out at my fellows blindly
hurt them
take them down
flat hand to throat
heart fracture kick
so many easy ways to kill
must, must retain control
fear that I will do some damage
fear my will might fold

if you find me sitting vacant
if you find me numb
if I do not answer you
try to comprehend
I send myself away sometimes
denying form and function

if you find me in a wasteland
kicking at the walls and swearing
blindly -
do not run

this is not me you look upon
the silence left behind the cage
false laugh or dead calm
the bars hold
wonder if I might be dying inside
to restrain so hard
to push so long

anger, my friend
this is my weakness
divinity in holding down
letting free little by little
when you are gone, when I am gone

and if at night you find me weeping
fear not to rest you next to me
perhaps the words you say mean nothing
getting only to the verge of mind
but comfort lies near companionship sometimes

I find within a raging fire
pacing flames like a tiger caged
seeking to burn all its oppressors
unable to determine which sights are real
which faces hold fear

wait until I am alone
releasing hatred's easier then
curse into the silence
kick holes into the walls
let insanity become fluid motion
if only for a little while
but fear not
I will be pure again
